 The `ComplianceScan` CRs are handled by the `scanctrl` controller. This is also where the actual scans happen and the scan results are created. Each scan goes through several phases:

 The scan is validated for correctness in this phase. If some parameters like storage size are invalid, the scan transitions to DONE with ERROR result, otherwise proceeds to the Launching phase.

 A related parameter is `rawResultStorage.rotation` which controls how many scans are retained in the PV before the older scans are rotated.

Given the default rotation policy and an estimate of 100MB per a raw ARF scan report, you can calculate the right PV size for your environment.
