| Value kind | observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range. |
|---|---|
| Scope | The near-zero endpoint requires dry, non-evaporative heat rejection; loop closure alone does not determine WUE-site. |
