These are hypothetical scenarios with explicit assumptions. They do not establish equal capabilities, measured usability or a negotiated price.
| Requirement | Proposed exercise | Accept when |
|---|---|---|
| Representative task | Evaluate authorised labelled images for the specified detection or classification task. | The selected feature and output format meet the independently defined evaluation criteria. |
| Access scope | Run the authorised test with distinct permitted and restricted identities. | Only intended identities can access the configured resources. |
| Failure handling | Exercise a safe failed request and document retry or recovery. | The application can explain and handle the failure without unintended side effects. |
| Complete estimate | Document the selected configuration, expected usage and connected resources. | The estimate includes the actual billed units and required supporting services. |

Scope and architecture
OCI Vision and Amazon Rekognition support selected computer-vision tasks with different feature catalogues. Compare the exact image task and output requirements, and evaluate authorised samples; do not assume Rekognition’s wider media features are part of the same requirement.
Image-analysis labels and scores are model outputs. Feature catalogues, image limits and data-handling terms differ; a shared computer-vision label does not establish equal capabilities.
