Use: Record official-source facts, unresolved questions, obligations, and a pursue/rework/stop recommendation without implying approval.

Important: The MesaLift entries are fictional examples, not client results or product specifications. Replace them with evidence from your own controlled work. This planning tool is not legal, financial, engineering, compliance, safety, or investment advice.

## Instructions

1. Start from the business need, not from an appealing program title.
2. Open the official source and record the check date immediately before any application decision.
3. Treat unavailable, unknown, stale, and adviser-review-needed as distinct statuses.
