scope: >-
  Blackrock Neurotech ships regulated instrument software rather than a hosted API,
  so its lifecycle surface is product release versions plus controlled IFU
  (Instructions For Use) documents, not an API version train.
versioning:
  scheme: product-release
  pattern: >-
    Software and firmware carry dotted product versions (e.g. Central Software
    Suite v7.8.0); each release is bound to a controlled document identified by an
    RS-/LB-/PN- number and a document revision (e.g. cbMEX IFU LB-0590 Rev 3.00).

    RS-0115 v7.6.0) on the support downloads page rather than by a stated policy.
