Read the guideWhat dependable means
Commanded is not the same as watered.
- A schedule can exist without running.
- A valve can open without useful downstream flow.
- Flow can occur while an emitter is blocked or a line leaks.
- A cloud history can be stale during an outage.
- Verification requires separate, reviewed evidence.
