# Source Priority And Evidence Rules

Use sources in this order whenever available.

## Priority Order

1. Official vendor documentation and release notes (highest trust)
2. Official vendor knowledge base and support articles
3. Major implementation partner or consultant publications (Big 4 and known system integrators)
4. Reputable practitioner resources and community posts (supporting context only)

## Rules

- Prefer version-specific guidance over generic guidance.
- Prefer newer guidance when process behavior changed across versions.
- Do not rely on a single non-official source for final recommendations.
- Label assumptions when documentation does not fully resolve the scenario.

## Citation Minimum

For each cited source, capture:

- Source title
- Publisher/author
- URL
- Published or updated date when available
- Accessed date

## Contradictions

If sources conflict:

- Prioritize official vendor guidance.
- Document the conflict briefly.
- Recommend the lowest-risk path and include fallback steps.
