The Dime How Top Teams Balance Art and Process in Extraction ft. Brian Adams
Exceptional extraction has long been treated as an art.
What separates the best teams is not creativity.
It is the ability to repeat quality, consistently.
And it is not SOP alone.
It is judgment applied consistently under real constraints. Constraints that define what is technically possible, operationally realistic, and economically viable.
Those constraints tart with understanding your system and tracking the right operational parameters at a level of detail most teams never reach.
That depth of understanding is what allows teams to produce a consistent, high-quality end product instead of relying on feel or memory.
This week we sit down with Brian Adams to discuss
- How to balance SOPs with operator flexibility
- How to think clearly about your extraction system and its limits
- Whether rolling back adult use in Massachusetts is real or noise
