Insight 1
Grasshopper data should not always stay temporary
Some information deserves persistence
When parametric workflows start producing important project data, it can be useful to store that information outside the active Grasshopper session.

Insight 2
Databases create continuity
Project information can live beyond one model state
Supabase-style workflows make it possible to store options, assumptions, metrics and records in a way that other tools can access.

Insight 3
Speckle connects model data to broader workflows
Geometry and metadata become shareable
By combining Grasshopper, Speckle and database logic, computational design workflows can become part of a larger project information system.
