# Sign in, read the overview, inspect inventory

**Recorded synthetic examples; computer-generated narration.** These lessons document the implemented evaluation console, not production accreditation, vendor commands or compliance attestation.

## 1. Use the correct installation

**Chapter:** 00:00:00.000

This lesson introduces the Sentinel console. Use a private local installation for approved customer metadata. The shared demonstration is synthetic only. Never upload secrets or real customer exports to a shared preview.

## 2. Sign in with your assigned role

**Chapter:** 00:00:15.933

Step one. Enter your assigned username and password, then select Sign in. In this synthetic example, the administrator account is used. Viewers can read and export; analysts can import and create plans; administrators can approve planning packages.

## 3. Confirm the active snapshot

**Chapter:** 00:00:35.533

Step two. On Overview, check the active snapshot in the top bar. Confirm its source, assessment date, evidence digest and synthetic label. These are stored assessments, not a live device feed.

## 4. Read the four scores carefully

**Chapter:** 00:00:50.600

Step three. Read quantum exposure, migration priority, migration difficulty and evidence confidence separately. Unknown is not zero risk. Check the known-asset denominators and control coverage. Difficulty is a conservative planning heuristic, not measured migration effort.

## 5. Filter inventory

**Chapter:** 00:01:12.333

Step four. Open Inventory. Type a vendor, owner or algorithm into the filter, then press Enter. Use the asset-type selector to narrow results. Filtering changes the visible list; it does not change the stored evidence.

## 6. Inspect capability tiers and evidence

**Chapter:** 00:01:29.467

Step five. Click an asset row. Compare advertised, model and firmware supported, enabled, and observed-used capabilities. Inspect rule outcomes and score assumptions. A marketing claim is not proof of configuration or application use.

## 7. Close details and end your session

**Chapter:** 00:01:48.467

Step six. Close the detail drawer and select Log out when finished. Keep account access and evidence review within your assigned workspace. Continue with the evidence and findings lesson to build a reproducible assessment.
