Capability matrix

Grouped by area. Every state carries a word as well as a colour, and anything the catalog has not established stays neutral rather than counting as a missing feature.

Listed by one tool only

10 capabilities are published by a single tool in this set. That does not mean the others lack them — only that the catalog has not established an answer either way.
