These values identify the configuration named in the public evaluation. Enriched claims below retain their own evidence scope so a family manual is never presented as proof of the tested unit's exact UPC or revision.

Scope labels matter: tested unit describes the evaluated optic, exact SKU maps a manufacturer product code, and configuration family applies to the documented model family without proving serial-level identity. A scope match can still remain an evidence lead when its authority or identity chain is incomplete.

An evaluation documents the tested sample and protocol. It is not automatically a population-level reliability claim.

Own this optic or its documentation?

A clear model-label photo, packaging label, dated manual, or manufacturer response can close an identity field. Personal reports are useful leads, but they remain separate from verified identity facts.
