Released Product Maintenance Workspace - "Not used" tile

I've been exploring the Released Product Maintenance Workspace. Does anyone have any further documentation or experience about how the "Released products Not Used" tile works? What filters does it use to consider it "Used" vs "Not Used"? Does it take into account Sales orders? Purchase orders? Production orders? Inventory transactions? Being part of a bill of material? I would hope that if any of the above were present in the legal entity, and maybe some things I haven't thought of, that it would be excluded from the "Not used" list.

It seems like this will be a hugely powerful tool! In AX 2012 we have no easy way of determining which released products we could delete because they've never had a single transaction in all the years of their existence. We are trying to clean up data before migration to D365 F&O. We could use this workspace tile on our replicated database in D365 non-production and then use what we glean from it to clean up the data in AX 2012 before cutover.

When I click on the tile, and then click the funnel on the resulting grid, it says it is filtering Stopped = No and Stocked Product = Yes. Stopped sounds like fields on the Default Order Settings, of which there can be several records at LE and Site level, and there are three versions of these fields for inventory, purchasing and sales. So how does this filter work as a single field? Stocked Product is not a field I'm familiar with or can find on the Released Product. These aren't fields I can add to my grid using personalization. I have a feeling it's not going out looking for orders or BOMs or inventory as I had hoped. Any insights would be appreciated.
