The schedule columns

Stone name, thickness, finish, size, and anchor type are the minimum. A photo of a sample slab does not state the thickness. Granite is only the draft example on the product page.

Weight and backup

The backup wall and the bracket spacing have to carry the slab. Tell the facade engineer if the stone is on concrete, on steel, or on a curtain-wall mullion. That choice is not in the company performance table.

Open joint or sealed joint

An open joint drains in the cavity and needs a waterproof layer behind the stone. A sealed joint moves the water to the face and needs a sealant type. The anchor schedule should say which joint the slab was designed for.
