Additional context
Because decontam is used to identify contaminants that would need to be removed, this would be part of pre-processing of data. In many cases the decision to remove a contaminant is somewhat subjective, meaning this process cannot be fully automated. So we should be able to generate decontam results, even if MMEDS is not able to use those results automatically.
