All sources below were read on the access date shown, without credentials. Portfolio is self-hosted software, so there is no vendor-run tenant to probe; the only live checks were unauthenticated requests to public vendor web properties (S46, S73, S75, S78). The REST OpenAPI document and the SOAP WSDL were downloaded from the public documentation host (see API spec downloads). Help-center articles were enumerated through the public Zoho Desk knowledge-base listing (S46) and read individually.
