Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Locate the PowerShell entry point that creates output folder names, then determine the tool name available at that point and the existing naming convention. Done means newly collected output folders are prefixed with the gathering tool name and the resulting behavior is covered by an appropriate check.

What is the current behavior?
