Stripes can be planned, compressed, stitched, wrapped or simply revealed by how a cloth was folded. Their rhythm is a useful entry point, not a complete process record.

- Measure rhythm visually
- Check the fold direction
- Notice interruption
Keep technique plural
The same visible cue can be produced by adjacent resist families. A careful guide offers a comparison and names the evidence still missing.
- Link to multiple families
- Use an evidence grade
- Avoid a single-look verdict
