MNT.4:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when a measurement, inspection or prediction needs interpretation for a maintenance question. A dashboard turns red, but the planner needs to know what changed, how much confidence to place in the signal and whether it changes a decision.

Return a qualified account of current condition, and of future condition only when a forecast is needed and supported. An existing adequate account can complete the request. Selecting the intervention belongs in MNT.6; procuring or redesigning the monitoring arrangement is a different question unless its deficiency prevents the present answer.
