Tier 1: Native allotropy parsing (PREFERRED)

Always try allotropy first. Check available vendors directly:

from allotropy.parser_factory import Vendor

# List all supported vendors
for v in Vendor:
    print(f"{v.name}")

# Common vendors:
# AGILENT_TAPESTATION_ANALYSIS  (for TapeStation XML)
# BECKMAN_VI_CELL_BLU
# THERMO_FISHER_NANODROP_EIGHT
# MOLDEV_SOFTMAX_PRO
# APPBIO_QUANTSTUDIO
# ... many more

When the user provides a file, check if allotropy supports it before falling back to manual parsing. The scripts/convert_to_asm.py auto-detection only covers a subset of allotropy vendors.

Tier 2: Flexible fallback parsing

Only use if allotropy doesn't support the instrument. This fallback:

Does NOT generate calculated-data-aggregate-document
Does NOT include full traceability
Produces simplified ASM structure

Use flexible parser with:

Column name fuzzy matching
Unit extraction from headers
Metadata extraction from file structure

Tier 3: PDF extraction

For PDF-only files, extract tables using pdfplumber, then apply Tier 2 parsing.
