" summary

Concrete outcomes and next steps: a refreshed products running Zephyr page and outreach to vendors for case studies; a website redesign driven by clear requirements and inspiration links; a plan and budget to add real hardware CI for a set of tier‑one tested boards rather than every board; a vendor-driven system to publish vendor-provided test results so users can see which drivers and board combinations are actually validated.
