From analysis to a relevant credibility examination

Suppose the proposed field conclusion rests instead on a calibrated simulation whose identified data and code reproduce the reported curve. RMP.5 retains the computational result and exposes the unsupported mechanism-to-field step. Repeating the same computation cannot establish the field claim.

RMP.6 can finish with that limited result when no relevant worthwhile examination is obtainable. If independent qualified field material later makes a discriminating mechanism comparison feasible, assess its contribution and select the appropriate validation or comparison. The selection supplies no performed result. A later returned comparison may retain, narrow or defeat the proposed field use; the maintenance authority retains the interval decision.
