Every line, every source, every gap
Filter by category or role, switch BOM versions, inspect specs, and add parts to a cost estimate. Evidence describes the source. Compatibility describes physical reality. We never merge the two.
Read the two axes separately. Evidence tells you how credible the source is. Compatibility tells you whether the part has actually been proven to work. A part can be well documented and still fail in a robot.
