This addresses a different case: A production report needs additional source columns, and Power Query currently uses a hardcoded column selection. It is not the specific defect in 'Hardcode production server names separately in every transformation step'.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Scattered hardcoded paths increase deployment errors and maintenance.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Create Power Query parameters for server and database values', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: Switching the parameter redirects all dependent queries to the intended environment.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: Switching the parameter redirects all dependent queries to the intended environment.

This belongs to a different case: A production report needs additional source columns, and Power Query currently uses a hardcoded column selection. It does not validate the current change.

This is the already implemented original solution: Create Power Query parameters for server and database values. Parameters make environment-specific source settings maintainable without editing each query. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Scattered hardcoded paths increase deployment errors and maintenance. It also does not meet the changed need.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: Switching the parameter redirects all dependent queries to the intended environment.

A file connector does not replace the native database provider. The proposed shortcut 'Use a SharePoint folder connector to communicate with the Oracle database' fails the documented need.

This addresses a separate source situation: A finance team has a Fabric lakehouse with eligible Delta tables and wants to avoid duplicating data into an imported cache. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: The data must refresh in the Power BI service after publication. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Install the supported Oracle connector prerequisites and then configure connection credentials', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: A test query successfully returns Oracle rows through the supported connector.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: A test query successfully returns Oracle rows through the supported connector.

This is the already implemented original solution: Install the supported Oracle connector prerequisites and then configure connection credentials. Some enterprise connectors require compatible local drivers or client components. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: A test query successfully returns Oracle rows through the supported connector.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: A file connector does not replace the native database provider. It also does not meet the changed need.

A local sync path may fail when refreshed by the cloud service. The proposed shortcut 'Reference the analyst's C drive OneDrive sync folder as the only cloud connection' fails the documented need.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: A different business unit needs a separate folder and permission boundary. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

This addresses a separate source situation: A team repeatedly copies filtered sales queries into many reports with inconsistent transformation logic. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: A local sync path may fail when refreshed by the cloud service.

This addresses a different case: A team repeatedly copies filtered sales queries into many reports with inconsistent transformation logic. It is not the specific defect in 'Reference the analyst's C drive OneDrive sync folder as the only cloud connection'.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Use the SharePoint Folder connector with approved site authentication', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: A new approved workbook in the site is available through the connection.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: A new approved workbook in the site is available through the connection.

This belongs to a different case: A team repeatedly copies filtered sales queries into many reports with inconsistent transformation logic. It does not validate the current change.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: A new approved workbook in the site is available through the connection.

This is the already implemented original solution: Use the SharePoint Folder connector with approved site authentication. The service connector uses a governed site URL instead of a machine-specific sync path. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: A local sync path may fail when refreshed by the cloud service. It also does not meet the changed need.
