📖What it means
A pass over the live estate that refreshes a catalog from what is actually there. A scan replaces belief with observation, which is why a stale scan is worse than no scan: it looks like knowledge.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Audit
A scan records what IS; an audit judges whether it should be.
Not: Derivation
A scan reads reality; a derivation computes a value from records.
