Separate observations from conclusions
Source information provides a basis for understanding; it does not automatically settle every business question. The origin, age, and scope of evidence matter when interpreting an inventory item or a supplier observation.
Recognize the boundaries
A successful collection does not necessarily mean that an entire environment is represented. Source access, configuration, and available datasets influence the picture. Treat coverage as something to review rather than an assumption.
Keep people in the decision
Reports and connected views help teams organize a discussion. Decisions about operational change, supplier relationships, or technology direction still benefit from the experience and accountability of the people responsible for them.
