Interpreting the Output​

The Z601 finding indicates a BRAND_OBSOLESCENCE issue.

This error or warning is raised by Zenzic when a deprecated, obsolete, or unauthorized brand name (e.g., 'OldPlatform') is found in the documentation content, which violates corporate style guides. In this specific example:

  • Scan Type: Brand Integrity Guard
  • Severity: Warning
  • Impact: Brand obsolescence violations incur a DQS deduction of 2.0 points, which can scale exponentially if repeated.

Resolve the Issue​

Exit code 1. Replace the obsolete brand terms in your text with the current product or release terminology.
