CoE vs Native Inventory Drift
The CoE Starter Kit and the native Power Platform Inventory API are two different snapshots of the same estate. They should agree. They don't — and the gap tells a story.
The CoE environment has a flow delta of 133 — the largest in the
tenant. The tool designed to track everything is itself the most
out-of-sync environment. This is not unusual: CoE captures deleted
and historical records that native inventory no longer shows.
Understanding which source is "right" depends on the question being
asked.

What drift means in practice
Positive delta (CoE > native): CoE is holding records for resources that no longer appear in native current-state inventory. This is usually deleted artifacts that CoE retains for historical tracking.
Negative delta (native > CoE): Native has resources that CoE has not yet synced — typically newly created resources in environments where the CoE sync has not run since creation.
CoE is better for historical governance and lifecycle tracking. Native inventory is better for current-state baseline. You need both — but you need to know which answers which question.
