R = purchase requirements; A/B = quotation section IDs. A missing detail is not treated as an explicit exclusion. Quantity and display specification match in both quotes.
03 / EVIDENCE
The actual answer. In the actual product.
The files were uploaded to the File Q&A assistant in the live Workbench. We then requested a source-reference check. The final answer was reviewed against all three inputs before publication.
