|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
**Discovered Undocumented Use Cases: ~450**
|
|
**Coverage Gap: 82% of database schema**
|
|
**Documentation Needed: Estimated 100-150 hours**
|
|
|
|
The c-entron.NET system has significantly more functionality than current documentation reflects. Critical business processes (production, asset management, data integration) are completely absent from USE_CASES.md despite having 150+ supporting tables in the database schema.
