Project P.I.T.T. Panel vs Slick
Panel vs Slick: Compare support/containment with the reported transport-surface role, not an invented friction coefficient.
Compare support/containment with the reported transport-surface role, not an invented friction coefficient.
When to investigate Panel
Inspect the Panel when the problem is an open boundary or unsupported route geometry.
Choose by the observed task, not a tool name that merely sounds stronger. Retain the source scope when applying this comparison.

When to investigate Slick
Slick is an older community-reported transport surface; test a specific transition before treating it as a speed upgrade.
Keep the input and destination constant when comparing the alternative; a different product or target makes the result a different test.
