What our compatibility checks cover
The picker compares specific manufacturer-reviewed platform fields. It does not establish physical fit or a working build.

- Match
- The reviewed fields satisfy the named rule. Other requirements and any documented conditions still need checking.
- Conflict
- The reviewed fields disagree for the named rule. Read the explanation and change a related part.
- Unknown
- A selection, usable reviewed field or source is missing; the value is unsupported; or conditional support is not checked. Unknown is not a pass.
Supported-check matrix
Reviewed platform fields only. A field match is not whole-build compatibility.
A record counts only when its category, reviewed field name, value type, supported value and usable manufacturer source meet the rule requirements.
Candidate record combinations means the number of eligible records on one side multiplied by those on the other. These are possible inputs to one check, including potential conflicts and unknown conditional results. They are not counts of fits or working builds, and rows must not be added together.
