What this record can support

The overall score is a weighted capability reading, not a laboratory accuracy result, market-share measure, certification grade or prediction of implementation success.

Evidence class D and confidence MOD describe the reviewed evidence depth. A lower-confidence row is expected to move more as additional primary technical evidence is located.
