Audit Evidence Ledger
Standard: Verified by manufacturer specs & user reports.
- [1]reddit.com..."Plastic commercial boards typically last 2-4 years in heavy use before scarring requires replacement"
- [2]walmart.com..."Constructed from poly (polypropylene) material"
"Deviated from standard baseline maintenance cost ($5.00/yr) because poly boards do not require the mineral oil used for wooden boards. Lifespan is estimated based on commercial kitchen consensus for plastic boards."
