    name: 'Replacement planning lacks a verified export of linked operating records'
    status: approved
    statement_type: market_hypothesis
    applies_to_icp_ids: []
    situation: >-
      A company plans to replace a system that holds related manufacturing,
      purchasing, sales, inventory, or accounting records, but has not
      completed and validated a full extraction of the records required for
      transition.
    operational_mismatch: >-
      Cutover planning requires a complete source dataset whose records and
      relationships can be carried into the replacement environment, while the
      company has not established its export rights, available extraction
      methods, or whether linked records can be preserved outside the incumbent
      system.
    possible_consequences:
      - >-
        The company cannot state before cutover which historical records and
        relationships can be carried forward.
      - >-
        A planned parallel transition depends on an extraction method that has
        not been tested.
      - 'The completed migration may recover only part of the incumbent record.'
    observable_signals:
      - 'The company cannot state whether it owns or can retain all data held by the incumbent system.'
      - 'CSV export is assumed to be possible but has not been tested against the required record set.'
      - 'Operational and accounting records are tied together in the incumbent system.'
      - 'No completed export demonstrates that document references remain connected.'
      - 'After cutover, only part of the incumbent data is available in the replacement environment.'
    disconfirming_signals:
      - >-
        The company has executed a complete documented export covering the
        required record types, relationships, attachments, and history.
      - >-
        Exported records have been imported into a neutral or replacement
        environment and reconciled using row counts, control totals, and sampled
        relationships.
      - >-
        Contractual access rights and a supported API, backup, or export process
        establish continued access independently of the incumbent application.
    confirmation_questions: []
    evidence_requirement: >-
      An inventory of the record types and relationships required for
      transition, the applicable data-access terms, a test extraction, and an
      import reconciliation covering counts, financial control totals,
      attachments, and sampled document links.
    evidence_ids: []
    prohibited_claims:
      - 'That the incumbent vendor intentionally locks customers in.'
      - 'That unrecovered data is permanently lost.'
      - 'That any particular record type or relationship was omitted before it is identified.'
      - 'That CSV files preserve document relationships or provide a complete migration.'
      - 'That all historical data can be migrated within a particular timeline or cost.'
