## Description

You can use this MCP to run structured, professional trials for assistive technology. Instead of juggling messy notes and scattered schedules, you give your AI client the ability to build chronological timelines and specific task checklists for any environment. When you are out in the field, the MCP provides standardized templates so your real-time performance data stays consistent across different users and devices. It also helps you stay organized with vendors by providing the exact steps needed for communication and helps you prepare for the final decision meetings where you determine if a piece of equipment actually meets a user's needs. It turns a chaotic testing period into a repeatable, data-driven process.
