Sources, method, and limitations

Evidence inventory, collection method, provider use, and constraints.

This report is based on 15 collected pages from emtec.com, including product pages, features, help documentation, and privacy policy. Static and browser rendering providers were used; external proof search was enabled but no verification requests were made. The evidence catalog includes 176 items, but only a subset relevant to ZOC Terminal was used. Limitations: some pages were in German, and pricing was supplemented by an authoritative pricing table from the order page.
