edakit (tgd1975)MCADConfidence: Medium

A bought USB-C breakout wired to the made board by cable is not in the design graph because every board in the graph has to be one edakit makes. Its missing CC resistors were found by another session after the order list was written, not by a check; with the breakout modelled, the check flags CC1 and CC2 as not connected.
