Operating context

What the buyer is trying to decide.

Data centers cannot treat spares as ordinary inventory. Duplicate records can hide the true available position for UPS, generator, cooling, and switchgear components that affect uptime resilience.

Proof controls buyers expect before they upload operational data.

Source purge Uploaded source files are purged after report generation; summary metrics and Open Findings remain.
No ERP write-back The diagnostic creates evidence for review. It never changes, deletes, merges, or overwrites ERP records.
Local currency Reports display money in the user's selected or country-derived currency, while USD remains the base audit calculation.
Audit trail Report ownership, access, quota, and feedback events are retained for governed review.
Session downloads Excel, Word, PDF, and CSV downloads are available only in the active generation session.
Open Findings Browser findings remain available without retaining the original source catalog rows.
Buyer interpretation

This is the level of evidence a first paid pilot should produce.

The purpose of an Industrial IQ pilot is not to claim instant remediation. It is to create a defensible management fact base: source-backed findings, confidence distribution, exposure assumptions, readiness issues, and a review sequence that executives can govern.
