PlatformTrace

The public record of technology change.

Migration desk

The desk is empty until the evidence is real.

PlatformTrace does not currently have a reviewed company-specific migration bulletin ready for public release. Fictional migrations and invented evidence have been removed.

Desk rule: no bulletin is published merely to make PlatformTrace appear active.

  1. CURRENT STATUS · OPEN RESEARCH

    Initial corpus: Adobe Commerce and Magento transitions to Shopify or Shopify Plus

    The first validation corpus is being designed around a narrow ecommerce migration pair. This is a research scope, not a claim that any particular company has migrated.

  2. PUBLICATION STANDARD

    Official announcement and observed evidence must not be conflated

    A company, platform or implementation partner may announce a migration. PlatformTrace may also observe public technical evidence. A future bulletin must state which type of evidence supports each conclusion.

  3. CONFIDENCE STANDARD

    Observed, probable and verified are governed states

    Observed means a candidate change. Probable means the direction persists across time and evidence channels. Verified requires the full governed threshold and human review.

    Observed: candidateProbable: reviewableVerified: evidence-backedPerfect certainty: not claimed

  4. FALSE-SIGNAL STANDARD

    Consent, regional rollout, legacy scripts and collection failure remain live alternatives

    A missing marker is not automatically a platform removal. A new marker is not automatically a completed migration. A future bulletin must preserve the plausible alternatives.
