## Source handling notes

- `SRC-003` and `SRC-004` are discovery indicators, not active-user, conversion, retention, or revenue metrics.
- `SRC-005` is a draft pull request. Passing repository checks or a draft state does **not** prove a released feature or a real licensed-host result.
- `SRC-006` describes Adobe's own product, not Premiere Pro MCP. Competitive implications are labeled as inference where used.
- `SRC-007` and `SRC-008` define platform requirements; they do not confirm the current status of any existing Adobe listing.
- Competitor prices are current-page observations only; they are not a price recommendation for Premiere Pro MCP.

## Next actions

1. Recheck all price and platform-policy sources immediately before any public pricing or distribution decision.
2. Add interview recordings or consented notes as new source rows before upgrading demand hypotheses.
3. Add verified production analytics sources before reporting funnel performance.
