Decision Discipline, Not Detection
SimGen's method is designed to answer a single question:
Is continued operation defensible under current conditions?
We do not optimize for alerts, accuracy scores, or anomaly flags.
We optimize for decisions that must hold up after the fact.
From Signals to Decisions
Most condition monitoring systems stop at detection.
SimGen goes further by enforcing decision discipline.
Assessments are governed by decision discipline that resolves operational signals to a small number of admissible states:
The only admissible outcomes of a SimGen assessment
Continue operation
Stable, defensible to continue
Monitor and plan
Early warning, reversible
Act (planned intervention)
Schedule maintenance
Act immediately
Unsafe to continue
Every assessment must resolve to one — and only one — of these states.
Ambiguity is not deferred. It is documented.
Non-Negotiable Constraints
SimGen decisions are governed by internal constraints that cannot be overridden:
Irreversible degradation cannot be reclassified as reversible
Confidence must decrease when evidence diversity decreases
Decisions cannot reverse without new information
"Continue" decisions must be defensible after adverse outcomes
If any constraint is violated, no decision is issued.
This discipline is what separates defensible judgment from pattern recognition.
In some cases, SimGen may conclude that available evidence is insufficient to issue a defensible determination.
Physics-Aware, Equipment-Specific
SimGen applies physics-aware reasoning tailored to each equipment class.
We do not apply generic logic across assets.
Each system has distinct degradation signatures and failure modes.
This prevents category errors such as:
- Applying bearing logic to pumps
- Interpreting amplitude changes without shape context
- Mistaking load effects for faults
What We Do Not Do
To be explicit:
Our output is a signed, audit-ready determination — not a tool.
What Clients Receive
Every engagement produces:
A clear operational decision
A confidence level grounded in evidence diversity
A rationale that can be explained without charts
Explicit scope limits and uncertainty
This is designed for executives, insurers, and regulators — not analysts.
All SimGen assessments are conducted directly by the founder, who designed the methodology and stands behind the determination.
