Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the section about running the PowerShell script to grant privileges to database users. It provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots for setting environment variables using Windows Control Panel and System Properties, but omits equivalent instructions for Linux or macOS environments. The use of PowerShell as the primary scripting example and the focus on Windows-specific tools and UI patterns (such as Control Panel and environment variable dialogs) further reinforce this bias. While the documentation mentions that the PSQL tool can be used, it does not provide Linux-specific guidance or examples, nor does it show how to run the script or set environment variables on Linux systems.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for Linux (and optionally macOS) users, including how to set environment variables (e.g., using export in bash or editing ~/.bashrc).
  • Include examples of running the privilege-granting script using bash or shell scripts, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify that the PowerShell script can be adapted for Linux environments, or provide a bash version if possible.
  • When referencing tools like PSQL, include installation and usage instructions for both Windows and Linux.
  • Avoid assuming the user is on Windows when describing UI navigation (e.g., Control Panel); instead, offer cross-platform alternatives.
  • In all sections where scripts or environment configuration are required, ensure Linux parity by showing both Windows and Linux workflows.
