INTERPRETATION

Ask what stays current.

A useful review begins with the record a team can open now, not the feature list promised later.

Separate fit from breadth.

Broad coverage matters only when it improves the piping decision and does not bury the evidence.

Make the caveat visible.

Every benchmark needs a scope, method, date, and limitation before it becomes a buying claim.
