Adoption decision

Evaluate it against the tool or manual workflow it would replace. The stored record supports discovery; it does not yet establish reliability, lower operating cost or commercial adoption.

Unverified requirements

Not verified: license permissions, required hardware, installation steps, maintenance status and a representative task with its failure cases.
