## What this is

Original editorial classification of ten selected primary-source announcements. It is not an independent benchmark, account-access test, or census of all AI developments. Source publication dates and event dates are recorded separately in the CSV. A later news report does not change an older launch date.

## Classification method

1. Identify the exact component or event. A product family can contain multiple rollout stages.
2. Read the original announcement for a present access route. Preserve beta, preview, paid, region, and verification restrictions.
3. Record eligible audiences and the most important limitation. Mark incomplete eligibility rather than assuming universal access.
4. Separate announced future capabilities from current access, and describe research reports as reports.
5. Keep provider performance claims attributed. Do not infer independently verified quality, adoption, sales, or permanent pricing.

The access labels are descriptive rather than mutually exclusive numerical scores. No industry-wide percentages or winner ranking are inferred. Available API means a documented provider route, not that every account was checked. Research report means evidence to read; no general consumer feature is established by the announcement. Mixed beta/preview means the bundle must be evaluated component by component.

## Worked decision

Hypothetical brief: a team needs to plan a campaign collaboratively this week and expects an assistant to join a call. The November 10 Claude article describes Sheets and Whiteboards but calls Meetings coming soon. A sound decision is to verify artifact eligibility for a copied planning task and keep the call workflow separate until actual access is confirmed. This is a reading exercise, not a hands-on test.
