Situations, not confidences

The situation

A team must decide when to intervene on equipment whose signals are numerous, heterogeneous and sometimes contradictory.

Questions to answer

• Which signals are actually available and reliable?
• Which decision remains human, and when?
• How can an alert be presented without creating false urgency?
• How does the tool connect to existing maintenance practice?

One possible approach

Connect useful signals to operational context, then make the recommendation readable to the person who decides. Human validation remains part of the system.

Elements to qualify

• Data sources
• Signal quality
• Operator interface
• Security
• Operations

The situation

An organisation receives varied documents. Some information can be prepared, but every ambiguity must be recoverable by an authorised person.

Questions to answer

• Which data may be processed, where and by whom?
• Which cases must stop for human review?
• How do we distinguish assistance from validation?
• How does the flow remain understandable in an audit?

One possible approach

Prepare a structured reading, signal uncertainty and organise human recovery. Confidentiality and oversight shape the system from the beginning.

Elements to qualify

• Sensitive data
• Access rights
• Document quality
• Review
• Logging

The situation

A planning team faces unstable demand, stock constraints and trade-offs that cannot be delegated to an average.

Questions to answer

• Which assumptions feed the forecast?
• How can uncertainty be made visible?
• Which trade-offs belong to planners?
• How can a recommendation be tested before expansion?

One possible approach

Put assumptions, scenarios and their limits in planners’ hands. The system informs a decision; it does not replace it.

Elements to qualify

• Planning data
• Uncertainty
• Simulation
• Governance
• Business indicators
