Verification

Verification policy

A result should be no stronger than the evidence supporting it. ReplaceIQ treats uncertainty as a real state, not as a temporary inconvenience to be hidden.

Verified means supported

A fact should only be represented as verified when the supporting evidence establishes the fact for the relevant appliance or applicable model scope.

Unknown stays unknown

If an important fact has not been established, it remains unknown. It is not converted into a default value or optimistic compatibility assumption.

Conflicts must remain visible

When sources conflict, the conflict should be reviewed and adjudicated rather than silently selecting whichever value produces the easiest answer.

A found model is not automatically a ready replacement result

Model identification and replacement-result readiness are separate states. ReplaceIQ can recognize a model while still reporting that a verified replacement result is not ready.

Start with the appliance

If you already know the exact model number, return to the ReplaceIQ model analysis tool.
