Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where instructions and examples are tailored for Windows users (mentioning command prompt, Win+R, %USERPROFILE%, and using PowerShell syntax), with no explicit Linux/macOS equivalents or terminal instructions. The rest of the guide uses cross-platform tools (MQTTX app) and is portal-centric, but the initial setup may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions for running step CLI commands, including terminal usage and file path conventions.
  • Provide shell (bash/zsh) command examples alongside PowerShell, and clarify that the step CLI works cross-platform.
  • Avoid Windows-specific environment variable references (like %USERPROFILE%) or provide Unix equivalents (e.g., $HOME).
  • Mention that the step CLI can be installed and used on Linux/macOS, and link to installation guides for those platforms.
