Illustrative anatomy · not a completed brief

Know what gets documented before you evaluate a file.

A coverage brief turns an HVAC data request into a testable segment definition. Bracketed items are filled only after the industry rule, states, fields, volume, and intended use are agreed and the exact segment can be computed.
