Action path
What to do before relying on any date.
Use this as a triage path. Confirm the official rule, identify whether the problem applies, then use the specific product only if the gap is real.
Step 1

Step 3
Use the diagnostic before buying if you are not sure whether your current chase process is the real bottleneck.
