 With `EnforceRepeatableRead = true,` RPC is considered healthy only if its most recent finalized block is larger or equal to the highest finalized block observed by the CL Node minus `FinalizedBlockOffset.`
 Higher values of `FinalizedBlockOffset` with `EnforceRepeatableRead = true` reduce the number of false `FinalizedBlockOutOfSync` declarations on healthy RPCs that are slightly lagging behind due to network delays.
 This may increase the number of healthy RPCs and reduce the probability that the CL Node will not have any healthy alternatives to the active RPC.
-CAUTION: Setting this to values higher than 0 may delay transaction creation in products (e.g., CCIP, Automation) that base their decision on finalized on-chain events.
+CAUTION: Setting this to values higher than 0 may delay transaction creation in products (e.g., CCIP) that base their decision on finalized on-chain events.
 PoS chains with `FinalityTagEnabled=true` and batched (epochs) blocks finalization (e.g., Ethereum Mainnet) must be treated with special care as a minor increase in the `FinalizedBlockOffset` may lead to significant delays.
 For example, let's say that `FinalizedBlockOffset = 1` and blocks are finalized in batches of 32.
 The latest finalized block on chain is 64, so block 63 is the latest finalized for CL Node.
