## Methodology

- Memory measured via Chrome DevTools Performance Monitor: peak `JSHeapUsedSize` plus renderer process.
- Wall-clock measured from upload-complete to first usable findings render.
- Bluebeam Cloud row reproduced on identical hardware and identical input file; tab killed by browser at 2,100+ MB.
- All BlueGrid runs use Parallel Shard Processing on Google Cloud Run (us-west1).
- Reproducible on request — contact support@mybluegrid.com for the source PDF SHA-256.
