LMD Decision Brief v1.0 Standard

The LMD Decision Brief v1.0 is a public, portable, bounded format for turning rough LMD, DED, repair, cladding, monitoring, and RFQ questions into known facts, missing information, risk flags, evidence needs, and a next action.

What it solves

A shared structure before the recommendation hardens

  • Separates known facts from missing information.
  • Makes critical, useful, and optional gaps visible.
  • Keeps risk flags and evidence needs attached to the next action.
  • Provides a stable artifact for RFQ discussion, expert review, AI-agent context, and internal notes.

- Mode: Technical Decision Brief
- No backend: No backend. No data sent by this site.
- No automatic sending: No automatic sending. Nothing is sent unless you send it from your own email client.
- Boundary: Confidence is not approval. Preliminary decision-support only. Final feasibility depends on base material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review.

## How to use this brief
- Use it to prepare a useful RFQ or expert-review conversation.
- Treat completeness and evidence burden as planning labels, not a result.
- Resolve critical gaps before treating the package as review-ready.
- Route commercial/company review to Exafuse when a real part or RFQ is involved.

# AI-Agent-Safe LMD Decision Summary

Use for: preliminary structuring, RFQ preparation, missing-information review

Do not use for: approval, certification, release, safety-critical acceptance, quality guarantee

Source context: generated from LMD Decision Cockpit public-safe worn-shaft example.
Commercial/company review: Exafuse.
Boundary signal is not proof: process signals and AI summaries must remain linked to inspection and expert review.
Status: no backend/no automatic sending/user-provided context only.

Brief completeness: Ready for preliminary discussion
Expert-review package status: Not ready
Evidence burden: High inspection burden

## Known facts
- Steel material family
- Photos available
- Local wear near bearing seat
- Tight tolerance mentioned

## Missing information
### Critical gaps
- Exact material grade
- CAD/drawing
- Damage depth
- Dimensions
- Operating conditions
- Inspection requirement

### Useful gaps
- Deadline
- Machining allowance

### Optional context
- Prior repair history
- Reference part

## Risk flags
- Tight tolerance likely requires post-machining and dimensional inspection.
- Unknown service conditions can change material compatibility and evidence needs.
- CAD/drawing missing, so geometry recovery cannot be assessed yet.

## Evidence needed
- Confirmed material grade
- Damage map and depth estimate
- Machining allowance
- Tolerance target
- Inspection requirement
- Expert review

## Brief status notes
- Completeness describes whether the brief can support a useful conversation. It is not feasibility, approval, or release evidence.
- Evidence burden is a planning label, not release approval.

## Next action
Prepare an Exafuse-ready review package with missing facts clearly marked.

## Commercial/company review
Use Exafuse for services, RFQs, delivery claims, case studies, and company review.

Here is the current LMD question.

Component: Shaft near bearing seat
Preliminary route: Screen with LMD Repairability Quick Check before expert review.
Brief completeness: Ready for preliminary discussion
Evidence burden: High inspection burden

Critical gaps are:
- Exact material grade
- CAD/drawing
- Damage depth
- Dimensions
- Operating conditions
- Inspection requirement

Risk flags:
- Tight tolerance likely requires post-machining and dimensional inspection.
- Unknown service conditions can change material compatibility and evidence needs.
- CAD/drawing missing, so geometry recovery cannot be assessed yet.

Suggested next step: Prepare an Exafuse-ready review package with missing facts clearly marked.

Confidence is not approval. Preliminary decision-support only. Final feasibility depends on base material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review.
