❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Alnoms different from a standard profiler?

Standard profilers tell you where your time was spent, but they don't tell you why or how it will scale as data grows. Alnoms combines Static Intent (AST analysis) with Empirical Proof (Doubling Tests) to provide a deterministic governance verdict.

Does Alnoms send my code to the cloud?

No. Alnoms is designed for Sovereignty and privacy. All analysis—both static and dynamic—happens locally on your machine. There is no telemetry or external data collection in the OSS tier.

Why does Alnoms suggest its own DSA library instead of built-in types?

While Python's built-ins are excellent, they are general-purpose. The alnoms.dsa library provides "Sovereign" implementations specifically optimized for performance governance and educational clarity, reducing the "cognitive tax" on the developer.

Can I use Alnoms in a CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. Alnoms is built to be "Governance First." You can use the CLI to set performance gates that fail a build if an \(O(N^2)\) regression is detected in critical functions.

Yes. Alnoms serves as the technical standard for algorithm engineering taught at Arprax Academy. All related video tutorials and deep-dives are released through the Academy platform.
