Market proof
Estimated customer or user scale based on public claims, with source claims stored separately for auditability.

Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.

The interface and automated daily updates reduce manual monitoring, but execution remains human-led.
