From a report to your question

Start a service claim by naming what the service is supposed to contribute. If its supporting reference concerns a product, ask whether the comparison also examined that service feature. Describe the alternative arrangement that would be needed to investigate the claim, along with an outcome measured consistently on each side. A product reference can be relevant background while leaving this separate question open. This reading exercise helps keep information about what is offered distinct from evidence about what receiving a particular service would change.

Questions to consider

Which service feature is being credited with the claimed outcome?
Does the cited comparison actually examine that feature against an alternative?
What information would distinguish a service contribution from the product context?
