**O2 — QF2:** A buyer considering SavvyCal for “Compare small-team scheduling software and decide whether a paid tool warrants replacing the current process” can determine fit, material constraints and the evidence-backed difference from a realistic alternative using the public decision corpus. - **O3 — QF3:** A buyer considering SavvyCal for “Consider collecting payment when clients book appointments” can determine fit, material constraints and the evidence-backed difference from a realistic alternative using the public decision corpus. - **O4 — QF1, QF2, QF3, QF4:** A buyer can determine that SavvyCal is not the right choice when the realistic alternative “Email, chat, phone, or text coordination” remains sufficient or the retained buyer need is absent, without relying on sales-only clarification. _(non-fit)_ ## State ### S1 — Homepage responds successfully id: entry_04bb599e9716021f condition: reachable coverage: bounded state: verified evidence: -
