Verification plan

  1. Use the small-team-knowledge investigation to specify the required collaboration and access boundaries.
  2. With explicit authorization, create an isolated synthetic workspace and named test accounts; do not invite real colleagues or upload private knowledge.
  3. Test editing, viewer restrictions, recovery and export with pinned clients and plan; retain sanitized artifacts before drawing conclusions.

Capability claims · 14 / 17 sourced

Standing condition: these are documentation claims at the source capture date, with outcome “claimed”; no runtime execution is recorded. Dossier applicability and limitations apply throughout. Expand a row for its statement, specific scope and contradictions. Numbered citations resolve to the source locator and capture date below. Missing evidence means Unknown, not No. Sources are unpinned unless marked “Pinned”; this marks source stability, not stronger support or runtime verification. Reuse counts refer to claims in the full dossier; repeated citations do not represent independent sources.

Yes Documented within scope Partial Limited form of the feature No Explicit evidence of absence Unknown No evidence recorded. These are support assessments, not quality scores or runtime verification.
