MODEL-LINKED PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

11 bounded physical-evidence records.

Publisher independence, identity precision and measurement scope vary by row. Results remain bounded by the disclosed specimen, setup, workload and metric; an inconclusive mapping is evidence associated with the catalog model, not verification of a manufacturer claim.

Known limits

What this record does not prove.

  • Range depends strongly on reflectivity and ambient illumination.
  • Point rate doubles only in dual-return mode.
  • The 5 cm minimum range does not imply full precision at that distance.
