A scope note could clarify whether this includes lab-side integration too, such as chamber interfaces, calibration workflows, and safety interlocks, not just cycler hardware and software.

Vendor-specific setup and troubleshooting fit here; cross-vendor data formats seem better suited to BDF & Standards. That distinction should make it easier to find practical cycler guidance without mixing it with standards discussions.

This category could also cover troubleshooting workflows that span the cycler and its control software, such as channel setup, data export, and instrument-specific error messages. Keeping those discussions tied to the relevant brand should make fixes easier for other labs to find later.
