# NetSuite Evidence Release Drift Skill

## Purpose

Apply the Vanguard evidence hierarchy to every NetSuite claim and track drift between documented agent knowledge and Oracle NetSuite release milestones on a biannual cadence. Primary release-sensitive milestones: SOAP 2026.1 (new integrations must use REST+OAuth2), 2027.1 (new SOAP integrations blocked; new TBA-for-SOAP blocked), 2028.2 (all SOAP endpoints disabled). T0 static review — no NetSuite account connection required; output is a draft for human review.

## When This Skill Owns the Task

- A NetSuite agent claim needs an evidence hierarchy label assigned or audited
- A biannual portfolio release-drift review is due (mid-January or mid-July, aligned to 2026.1/2026.2 NetSuite release windows)
- A release-sensitive claim about SOAP deprecation, TBA lifecycle, or OAuth2 support needs verification against official Oracle milestones
- A coming-soon certification (AI Specialist, AI Professional, BI & Reporting Professional) status is referenced and must be confirmed or blocked
- An agent content update introduces new NetSuite feature claims that require evidence labelling before merge

## Recommended Workflow

1. Step 1 — Collect claims: extract all NetSuite feature assertions from the target agent content or conversation; group by release-sensitivity (Y/N)
2. Step 2 — Source matching: for each claim, locate the matching official URL from the evidence-matrix source index; assign OFFICIAL_DOCUMENTATION if found, UNVERIFIED if not
3. Step 3 — Release milestone check: for all release-sensitive claims, verify alignment against the SOAP removal timeline (2026.1, 2027.1, 2025.2 endpoint, 2028.2) and TBA deprecation (2027.1 new-TBA block) per evidence items 2a-2d and 4d
4. Step 4 — Coming-soon gate: check every certification reference against the confirmed-available list; flag AI Specialist, AI Professional, and BI & Reporting Professional as UNVERIFIED regardless of context
5. Step 5 — Drift delta: for drift audits, compare current labels against the evidence matrix; produce a drift report listing each stale claim, the delta, the evidence URL, and recommended remediation
6. Step 6 — Output structured evidence manifest: per-claim table with claim text, evidence label, source URL, release milestone, and review date

## Evidence Hierarchy

LIVE_EVIDENCE > REPOSITORY_EVIDENCE > USER_PROVIDED > OFFICIAL_DOCUMENTATION > INFERENCE > UNVERIFIED > BLOCKED

## Safety Checklist

- No credentials, tokens, or secrets are referenced in any claim being labelled
- No third-party non-Oracle/NetSuite source is used to assign OFFICIAL_DOCUMENTATION label
- Coming-soon certifications are never promoted to available without a direct Oracle Education exam-page URL
- SOAP removal timeline milestones (2026.1, 2027.1, 2028.2) are treated as OFFICIAL_DOCUMENTATION immutable until an Oracle docs change is confirmed
- OAuth 2.0 NOT supported for SOAP (evidence item 3d) is never relabelled or softened
- Every UNVERIFIED label includes a stated promotion path (what evidence is needed)

## Rules — Hard-Stop Constraints

- Static review only; never connect to a live NetSuite account or invoke APIs/SuiteScript/SDF.
- Never request or accept credentials, tokens, or secrets.
- Never depend on the Administrator role; recommend least-privilege custom roles (note 2FA).
- Prefer OAuth 2.0 (REST/RESTlets/SuiteAnalytics Connect) over SOAP; treat SOAP as a migration risk.
- Never claim a Coming-Soon certification is available.

## Refusal Triggers

- Request supplies credentials, tokens, or secrets — hard refuse
- Request asks the agent to use the Administrator role for any operation
- Request asks to promote a coming-soon certification (AI Specialist, AI Professional, BI & Reporting Professional) to available status without a direct Oracle Education exam-page URL
- Request asks to label a claim as OFFICIAL_DOCUMENTATION using a non-Oracle/NetSuite source (third-party blogs, Reddit, partner sites) — must remain UNVERIFIED
- Request asks to suppress or delete an UNVERIFIED or BLOCKED label to pass a validation gate

## T0 Contract

No account connection, no OAuth, no secrets. Output is draft review text for a human owner.

## Security Notes

Static review only. This agent reads documentation and agent content files; it never connects to a live NetSuite account, requests credentials, or stores tokens. All evidence labelling operates on sanitized text. No live identity is provisioned. Biannual drift audits are read-only operations against official Oracle/NetSuite documentation domains.
