  This study investigates Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions
through two avenues: high-$p_{\perp}$ frameworks and hydrodynamic modeling.
Using the T$_{\text{R}}$ENTo model, we find that IP-Glasma mimicking $p=0$
value aligns well with high-$p_{\perp}$ data, in agreement with Bayesian
analysis of the low-$p_{\perp}$ regime. While adjusting $p$ values may improve
a fit to a particular high-$p_{\perp}$ observable, it does not permit an
earlier onset of transverse expansion.
