Manufacturer documentation
Primary evidence can include manufacturer installation instructions, specification documents, model documentation, and other manufacturer materials that establish installation requirements.
Evidence
Data sources
ReplaceIQ is designed around traceable evidence. A useful fact is not just a value; it also needs a source, applicability, and enough context to understand what the value means.
Applicability matters
A document should not be assumed to apply to every product from the same brand or product family. ReplaceIQ keeps document applicability separate so evidence can be tied to the correct model scope.
Provenance stays attached
Normalized facts are intended to retain provenance back to their supporting source material. This makes later review, correction, and adjudication possible.
What a source does not establish
Silence in a document is not positive evidence. If an important requirement cannot be established from the available material, ReplaceIQ should identify the gap rather than infer a convenient answer.
