Decision
Keep using the usual screen / repeat a specific test / investigate a purchase later. Explain the evidence and remaining uncertainty: __________________
Do not multiply a tiny test’s time saving into an annual income claim. Use several normal work sessions before treating a first impression as a pattern. Manufacturer compatibility and software licensing remain separate checks.
