In extraction operations, yield (the total amount of material extracted) is not the same as efficiency (the percentage of the desired compound recovered from the starting material); efficiency is the true Key Performance Indicator because high yield can result from extracting unwanted compounds like fat, while efficiency measures whether the target molecule (such as THC) is actually being recovered.

You are measuring the wrong numberAdded:
efficiency. If you're just talking about like efficiency and extraction, [music] it's how much THC was in your starting material, how much THC did you get in your crude or your post extract. Yield is it doesn't matter in extraction. Like you could be pulling fat all day. It's like congratulations. I get hella oil out of it. I'm like, dude, [music] that you can't like that's not THC though.
That's not the the molecule that we're here to care about, right? Yield is [music] a good kind of like rough indicator. If you run something and you know, you weigh it out at the end and you're like, wow, this is only half what we thought [music] it was. Like sure, it's an indicator, it's a red flag or a green flag, but it's not like a true good KPI for extraction. [music] Like efficiency is the KPI you need to be thinking about.
