Explains what IntelFactor does and what it optimizes for.

### What IntelFactor Does

IntelFactor is an edge-first manufacturing intelligence system focused on real-time inspection and defect visibility.

The system observes live production processes, evaluates inspection conditions locally, and produces structured outcomes that can be reviewed, audited, and analyzed over time.

IntelFactor is designed for environments where latency, uptime, and operational safety are critical.
