Improving Your Method
Once the methodology has been reviewed, look at how changes to method parameters (i.e. gradients / temperatures etc ) affect the performance.
Once you have a set of conditions that appear to work, repeat the analysis several times to prove that it isn’t just luck.
In addition, vary parameters by a few percent either way to see if this affects the performance.
