    What must the check represent: a public page, an API, or a complete authenticated journey?

    Who will configure and own it: a non-technical team, developers, or both?

    Which evidence do you need after an alert: request context, a script result, logs, or a customer-facing status?

    This page does not treat a feature label as a permanent product fact. Confirm current coverage, implementation requirements and commercial terms with each provider before purchase.
