N/03 / Evidence
Keep the conditions attached.
Read published properties without losing the source, method, and limits of comparison.

Material choices.
Made legible.
A material is more than a name in a drawing. We organize the requirements, evidence, and observations that make a physical design decision easier to understand.
Switch the study to explore a different set of design questions.

M/01ILLUSTRATIVE STUDY
Metal / form & finish
A machined-looking plate invites two different questions: what the underlying material must do, and how its surface meets the application.
- Question 01 / Identity
- Which grade, form, and condition are actually under consideration?
- Question 02 / Application
- Does the intended finish affect a contact, a fit, or an inspection requirement?
- Reading direction
- Separate the base-material requirement from the surface requirement.
These are synthetic visual studies, not physical samples, measured property data, or materials offered for sale.STUDY INDEX: M/01 — C/03
Decision work / Four connected records
From an open question
to a usable record.
The work follows the information a team needs at each stage. Start with an uncertain requirement, an incomplete comparison, a prototype observation, or a handover that needs structure.

Application briefs
Turn an application into conditions, priorities, and questions.
Candidate comparisons
Keep candidate identities, source evidence, and gaps in view.
Prototype observations
Record what a particular prototype can and cannot establish.
Design transfer
Connect the chosen description to its rationale and next owner.
N/01 / An explanatory section, not a measured specimen.
A useful distinction
Appearance is not
a specification.
A surface can suggest a material without establishing its grade, condition, or suitability. A clear record separates what is visible from what the application requires and the evidence supports.
