             6.  Case Study: Implementation of FaceAttend in a College Setting A mid-sized college implemented FaceAttend to replace
                its manual attendance system. Over six months, the institution reported:
               A 40% reduction in time spent on attendance management.
               Improved attendance accuracy by 95%.
               Positive feedback from faculty and students, citing convenience and reliability. However, initial resistance from privacy
                advocates and technical glitches highlighted areas for improvement.
             7.  Comparative Analysis with Traditional Attendance Methods The study compares FaceAttend with conventional
                methods based on key parameters:
