If you intend to analyze the radio signals within a specific part of the spectrum from a small patch of sky. It makes no difference which analysis is completed first or last as long as they all get analyzed. Each one has a rather loose deadline, of course but finishing your assignment early earns zero bonus. FAH, on the other hand cares very much how quickly you finish your assignment and which assignments must be completed first. Those facts lead FAH to grant generous bonuses for rapid returns and penaleies for exceeding the deadline.
That difference in philosophies has led to a rather extreme differences in goals an methodologies that are essentially incompatible.
