Live Readiness · Rev v36d
Field Handbook™ System Audit & Gap Matrix
A control panel for taking the living Field Manual live: audit the Field Form Builder™, calculator base, Field Manual coverage, request workflow, and next gaps without losing the calculator coverage discipline.
Readiness Position
The platform is usable; the content library is now the growth job.
The Field Form Builder™ and Manual RCP Packet workflow are now functional enough to support live use. Sticky™ closed the first major calculator gap. The next priority is not more architecture for its own sake — it is controlled coverage growth: Field Manual section → companion calculator/workbench → worksheet or RCP packet path → request feedback loop.
Living-manual rule: every new Field Manual section must either connect to a calculator/workbench, create a named calculator gap, or clearly state why no calculator is required.

Live Readiness Checks
What should be checked before each public push.
| Area | Status | Validation note |
|---|---|---|
| Field Form Builder™ / RCP | Functional / needs ongoing usability testing | Guided RCP Interview, Expert — Process Development Mode, per-variable RCP Tracker, RCP report, JSON export. |
| Field Calculators™ | Functional / auditable | 50 calculator/workbench identities, calculator audit page, Sticky™ and Crank™ added with bulk-imported OBD-II filtered library, process-filtered RCP templates available. |
| Field Manual categories | Live structure / content still growing | 55 FM code families with public groups and calculator coverage gate. |
| Request intake | Functional | Request form feeds Netlify → Supabase → training@dingfelder.co notification workflow. |
| User Manual / return links | Live | How-to-use page documents Sticky™, RCP, Field Form Builder™, calculator coverage, requests, and safety boundary. |
Field Manual Coverage Matrix
Category families with seeded coverage versus empty lanes.
This matrix uses the current Field Manual map. Gap means the code family exists in the master library but does not yet have mapped public sections. Seeded means at least one section exists. Strong start means several sections exist and the family can support public navigation.

Expansion Gap Queue
Next work that fills real holes.
These are the current practical expansion gaps. The order is not random: it prioritizes public draw, industrial value, calculator coverage, and natural continuation from Sticky™ and RCP.
| Gap / Calculator | Why it matters | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Crank™FM-AUTO / FM-GASENG / FM-DIESEL | Closed in v35. First Crank™ workbench, FM-AUTO pages, OBD-II clue discipline, system evolution, Cool Down Page, and parasitic drain support and bulk-imported OBD-II filtered library are live. | Closed |
| Conveyor™FM-PACK / FM-MECH | Conveyor speed staging, pitch, accumulation, transfers, jams, line balance, and sensor timing. | High |
| Filler™FM-PACK / FM-FOOD | Fill rate, nozzle count, dwell, foam, head pressure, loss allowance, temperature, and product-flow sanity checks. | High |
| Labeler™FM-PACK / FM-STICKY | Label speed, pitch, wrap length, sensor trigger, wipe-down, dwell, reject patterns, and adhesive-window checks. | High |
| HomeLoad™FM-APPL / FM-RELEC / FM-HVAC | Appliances, watts/amps, motors, pumps, heaters, airflow, drains, refrigeration checks, and safe observation boundaries. | Medium |
| D.O.T. Regulator™FM-TRUCK | Load securement, GVWR/GCWR, axle weights, inspection readiness, driver documentation reminders, careful compliance boundaries. | Medium |

Repeatable Audit Procedure
How we keep the live manual from drifting.
- Run the calculator audit.Confirm normal compute tools pass before adding new calculator modules.
- Walk the Field Form Builder™.Run one general report and one RCP packet from start to tracker closure and print/export.
- Open the Field Manual map.Check that new sections have FM-CATEGORY-### IDs and a visible calculator coverage status.
- Check gap queue.Every gap should point to a named future calculator/workbench or a no-calculator-required reason.
- Submit a test request when changing intake.Only do this when needed; keep the Netlify/Supabase/email pipeline protected.
- Update the User Manual.If a user-facing feature changes, the manual and return links should be updated in the same release.

v36dCrank™ presenter overlay correction: use the approved Crank asset as the fixed instrument, follow the yellow-outline card geometry, reveal the real chest core through a punched-card opening, scale fonts and card fields down, and move input collection into paged presenter-card steps before the green GO flag loads the Data Presenter Card.
v36cCrank™ presenter/card scale polish: lowered and resized the Presenter Card so Crank is visible as the instrument, corrected the fast input fields, converted Crank assets to transparent PNG, and pushed the emblem visually deeper behind a cleaner 3D punched-card opening with glow-ring pulse behavior.
v36bCrank™ presenter relief polish: simplified Input Presenter Card, stronger GO-to-Data card continuity, deep metallic chest emblem chamber behind the card cutout, emblem-only manufacturer marks, heartbeat-style glow states, calmer No Data / Don’t Give Up path, and friendlier ready-state compact results.

Safety Boundary
Live does not mean uncontrolled.
The Field Handbook exists to protect people, animals, and improve work. We do not provide guidance for weapons, explosives, booby traps, or mechanisms intended to harm humans or animals.
The live manual should grow through measured requests, public readiness checks, calculator coverage, and revision-stamped releases — not through uncontrolled uploads or unreviewed advice.
