 (1) We need to distinguish between anticipated threshold and achieved/documented threshold. Until then, be critical to any quoted number
 (2) The threshold/energy response of a ground array like Milagro cannot easily be compared to ACTs. This interval respresents the energy range over which 90% of events from a crab-like spectrum are detected.

 The object of desire: What we ought to know about the facilities
 | Facility | Object visibility/constraints | Analysis technique/data products | Comments |
 | *template* | energetic threshold = f(dec); low threshold cuts readily available ? | shower reconstruction: which MC/version ? | |
 | | point source sensitivity = f(dec); public? generally applicable ? | high-level data product: gamma-ray excess-map - availability / conditions ? | |
 | | extended source sensitivity = f(source size); public ? generally applicable ? | high-level data product: gamma-ray excess-map - format (root/fits) ? | |
 | | energy resolution public? known dependencies ? | high-level data product: spectral data - availability / conditions ? | |
 | | angular resolution public ? known dependencies ? | high-level data product: spectral data - format (xspect/root/...) ? | |
 | | timeline: observational history : which objectes ? when? eff. exposure? result published ? | high-level data product: spectral fits - fit-function flexibility ? which uncertainties ? | |
 | | schedules: which objects ? when ? result will be made available when ? | intent of matching contemporaneous analysis ? when ? how ? | |
 | | | lc: minimal timescale ? flexibility in rebinning ? | |
