Why is context more important than thresholds in fermentation monitoring?

Question

Accepted Answer

Measurements without context create invisible food safety risks, especially in low-acid, low-oxygen environments where dangerous pathogens won't produce obvious warning signs. The answer depends on cure phase, temperature, weight loss, and a dozen other variables - it's context, not a threshold.
