Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples and instructions are provided exclusively for Windows Server (2012 R2/2016), with explicit requirements for Windows-only tools (PowerShell, .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, Microsoft Excel). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions, and the documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows ecosystem throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit statements about platform support (e.g., clarify if the tool is Windows-only or if Linux/MacOS are unsupported).
  • If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the deployment planner tool, or provide alternatives for Linux users.
  • Include Linux-based examples or instructions, or clearly state that Linux is not supported.
  • Offer guidance for users who may be managing mixed environments (e.g., how to export/import data for analysis on non-Windows systems).
  • If PowerShell is required, mention if PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported, and provide examples for Linux/macOS if applicable.
  • For report generation, suggest open-source alternatives to Microsoft Excel (e.g., LibreOffice Calc) if possible, or provide output in formats that are not Excel-dependent.
