The difficult questions need their own evidence state.
Each lens reads existing criterion-level provenance. Published evidence means the record carries a direct or derived source. Reviewed absence means an exact document was checked but did not publish the qualifying detail. Open means the question is not yet established.
Follow the evidence behind the decision.
The five lenses rebuild from the current product records. A reviewed absence means the exact source was checked and did not publish the qualifying detail.

What continues operating, at what output, through which hardware, and under which phase and duration limits?
A published backup capability is not a site design. Protected circuits, phase balance, motor starts and network requirements remain installation-specific.
