Three routes, with different evidence needs
Further reuse evaluation preserves an option; it does not certify safety, performance or suitability for installation. Material recovery still needs process-specific acceptance and handling checks. Special handling and manual review are essential when evidence is incomplete, inconsistent or raises a safety concern.
A sequential policy would choose among eligible optional tests, repeat capture, stopping and uncertainty referral. Required safety and qualification procedures are set independently by qualified specialists.
Confidence has an operational meaning
An ambiguous observation may come from true module condition, a different source population or unreliable acquisition. The candidate study investigates capture conditions and cross-modal physical consistency without assuming they guarantee confidence under population shift.
A useful comparison reports route-specific errors, the share receiving a recommendation without uncertainty referral, manual-review burden and complete incoming-module cost together. Mandatory handling review is recorded separately.
The next validation gate
Compare actual operator practice, a cost-tuned fixed workflow, an established adaptive acquisition method and the proposed PV-specific policy. Give methods equivalent eligible measurements and keep entire source lots out of development and calibration. Freeze policies before final evaluation; test capture-quality ablation, uncertainty and prospectively timed handling.
Integrated PV testing and active feature acquisition are established. The experiment must establish any PV-specific advantage; if a simpler method matches the candidate, retain it.
