Sort every conversation-capture product by the action a person has to take before the recording exists, and the category rearranges itself into a list nobody publishes.

The coverage holes in a booth-fixed capture station, written down by the people designing it rather than found later by the people buying it.

Two conversations a metre apart arrive at one microphone as one signal, and the research corpus that documents this failure has a name for it that no trade-show article has ever used.

Three product categories are sold to the same booth team as one thing, and the clearest evidence that they are not is a word that appears in only half of their published pages.

A policy can be rewritten by whoever writes policies. Firmware that ships without the code path cannot be, which is why the minimum brightness and the blink live below the app.

A badge scan returns a registration row typed months ago, and the note field meant to hold everything else stays blank for a reason nobody writes down.

A camera's identification range is fixed by how many pixels land across a face, which means a privacy limit can be written into optics instead of into a policy document that someone is free to rewrite.

The checklist our own engineers carry into a manufacturer meeting, published in the form we use it.

Korean law splits one booth conversation across three statutes. Clearing the first does not clear the other two, and the burden of proof sits with the exhibitor.

What Korea, the EU, California and Nevada actually say about capturing a conversation at a trade show stand, quoted from the statutes, including the places where the law says nothing at all.

Why Scailout Station is fixed to the counter instead of clipped to your staff, and what that choice rules out.
