This requirement: what is it actually for?
If it’s just a signaling mechanism, who’s the intended recipient?
Is that person or group actually seeing the signal you think you’re sending?
Even if they see it, does anyone care?
You can design a lot of requirements to satisfy your imagined external constituencies.
But before you bind your hands like that, it might be worth checking to see if anyone’s actually watching the performance as closely as you think.
What seems vital inside the boundaries of your own context rarely matters so much to the people whose opinions matter so much to you.
