Evidence tier describes my hands-on relationship with the content. Official sources describe platform contracts/documentation. Production observations should not automatically be treated as official limits.

Problem

Script Activities time out after 30 minutes and complex API loops have limited operational visibility.

Approach

Export or call APIs from an external service, process in bounded batches, and push validated results back to SFMC.

Tradeoffs

Additional infrastructure

Credential and network management

Better observability and language/runtime flexibility
