The first version was actually patented, so we know how that one worked fully. The latest versions are secretive but they still likely measure the same thing.

My headcanon is that they’re a bacteria that feeds on the force rather than that they control the force or grant powers. They need a host so that’s why you find lots of them in force sensitive people.

My head cannon is just that they’re attracted to beings that can manipulate the force

They don’t give any powers. But the more you have the higher your latent abilities are and they can just sense that
