Conclusions follow the evidence
Every decision should connect a task requirement to a relevant product or plan and an official source.
Decision states
MATCH means the available evidence supports the requirement. PARTIAL MATCH means only part is supported. NO MATCH means the evidence conflicts with the requirement.
Read the full methodologyWhen evidence is insufficient
We use UNKNOWN. We do not turn missing documentation into a claim about speed, reliability, success rate or suitability.
