1. Facts stay facts

Supported product definition remains visible and traceable.

2. Unknowns become work

Missing technical detail becomes a named decision or evidence request instead of an AI guess.

3. Supplier questions get sharper

The handoff tells the manufacturer exactly which values to propose or confirm.
