What would move this next
Upgrade to Validated if: VS Code extension reaches GA with positive enterprise feedback; independent benchmarks (SWE-bench or equivalent) validate data engineering quality claims (would also lift the unvalidated-benchmarks cap on autonomy); PR/CI workflow creation added natively; broader community outside Snowflake user base develops; hands-on internal trial corroborates the strong adoption signal. Note: Q1 FY2027 earnings (May 27, 2026) already confirmed Cortex Code customer-count acceleration (7,100+ accounts, named top forecast driver), lifting viability to Band 4. Downgrade to Tracked if: VS Code extension cancelled or significantly delayed beyond Q3 2026; new unpatched security vulnerability emerges; documentation quality measurably erodes following March layoffs; Snowflake deprioritizes Cortex Code investment; cross-platform expansion stalls.
