"""
Synthesis Exploration is a feature that tries multiple synthesis strategies
(in the form of different scripts for the ABC utility) to try and find which
strategy is better by either minimizing area or maximizing slack (and thus
frequency.)
The output is represented in a tabulated format, e.g.: ::
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ Worst Setup ┃ Total Negative ┃
┃ SYNTH_STRATEGY ┃ Gates ┃ Area (µm²) ┃ Slack (ns) ┃ Setup Slack (ns) ┃

You can then update your config file with the best ``SYNTH_STRATEGY`` for your
use-case so it can be used with other flows.
