📊 Pattern Detection
Spot recurring flaws like off-centering or surface issues across your order.
🎯 Actionable Suggestions
Get practical tips to improve prep and grading results based on real patterns.

🧬 Example:
Spot-on submission! A few cards lost points due to minor surface imperfections and corner dings. Try using a bright LED inspection light to catch these flaws early. Also, keep an eye on centering—clean, even borders can make all the difference. Let's shoot for more 10s next time!
