The database reports adequate free storage after the approved change and no growth operation fails its service limit. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Review independent service-tier compute and storage quotas and scale the supported storage setting or tier as required. The alternative problem is: A managed SQL service's storage approaches its limit and the scaling plan assumes that increasing vCores always increases the allowable data size. The current Granite SaaS issue is instead: A large rowstore fact table creates I/O pressure because repeated string values are stored uncompressed in cold partitions. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The compression test reduces page reads and allocated space without exceeding the agreed CPU and query latency thresholds.

A representative report reads the relevant date partitions instead of scanning unrelated monthly ranges. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Choose a partition function and aligned indexes based on the actual date predicate and verify partition elimination in execution plans.
