About Author and Story
Results is copyrighted fictional work by Jonathan J Softly.
Based on a career supplying tailored software, author has imagined how political vote counts could be reported separately from actual raw data, and how insect population count reports may not accurately reflect fully an environmental condition.
To prove compliance for food production and other items at process audit, industrial monitoring software guides the natural drift in production processes back to within specific mandated targets. Author has imagined this overview software implemented for political vote counts, applying the same live monitoring that auto-adjusts when a process drifts to gently push results back towards the target. In an extended run with proven monitoring software, final results are extremely precise. Key Legal production and due diligence records auto-generate by default. Reports of detail for any aspect of any process run are available, with the Results Reporting tailored to suit. Author has imagined circumstances where people notice vote count results are apparently skewed, and where environmental raw data reports do not support observed insect losses, in a story where two very different areas of count practice come together.
