Public evidence supports conservative first-contact answers, prototype evaluation, proof-of-concept use, and low-risk pilot consideration after direct verification. Public evidence does not prove mature-platform production trust parity, customer proof, formal compliance, SLA/history, exact limits, binding export/deletion terms, or OAuth-complete project MCP handoff.",
