Current state

Operating systems in scope
- Which Windows or macOS versions/images are mission critical?
- Container vs VM vs bare-metal distribution?
Existing tooling
- What scanners or inventory tools are used today (e.g., SCCM, Tanium, Trivy, Snyk, custom scripts)?
- Pain points / gaps they experience (offline support, provenance, coverage, explainability).
Regulatory / compliance drivers
- Any specific frameworks (PCI, FedRAMP, DISA, internal policies) mandating Windows/macOS SBOM or attestation?

Desired capabilities (score 1–5 per feature)

Capability	Score	Notes
MSI / WinSxS package inventory
Chocolatey / third-party feed tracking
macOS Homebrew / pkgutil receipts
`.app` bundle inspection (signing, entitlements)
Driver / service posture
Authenticode / notarization verification
Offline/air-gap parity
Policy integration (e.g., block unsigned driver)

Operational requirements

Offline expectations: Do they require artefact mirroring? Which feeds?
Performance: Time budget for scans? Incremental vs full?
Evidence formats: Preferred SBOM types, attestation needs, API endpoints.
Secrets / credentials: Any constraints for registry/hive exports or feed mirrors?

Success metrics

How will the customer judge success? (e.g., number of workloads covered, audit findings reduced, ability to prove provenance).
Timeline expectations for pilot vs GA?

Follow-up actions

What next steps were promised (POC, roadmap update, integration with other guilds)?
Owners + due dates.

After the interview: convert highlights into a concise row in windows-macos-demand.md and, if needed, create Jira/backlog items for SCANNER-ENG-0020…0027 or DOCS-SCANNER-BENCH-62-016 with the captured context.
