This record tracks what the source stated, with evidence for the current verdict. Verdicts describe what the evidence shows, not vendor intent. See methodology for the full counter-evidence + review discipline.
First analyst-claim entry under the archive methodology (v0.2, 19 Apr 2026).
Holding status at logging time reflects that no major counter-evidence has surfaced against the broad prediction through Q1 2026. Review cadence 180 days because long-range analyst predictions age on a slower clock than specific deployment claims. First scheduled review: ~22 October 2026.
