What are the criteria for success? We never are told how success or failure are to be evaluated when these quick fix ideas come out.
For example, do we want 10% of all fired cases to be marked within ten years?
Of the 1 in 1 million marked, fired cases that are used in a crime, do we want 10 % of those to be left at the crime scene and recovered by authorities?
Of these, do we want the rapid link to a specific weapon to result in expedited arrests 10% of the time?
You get the idea....
