The fastest explanation for an adhesion failure may not be the physical cause.
PVD yield needs quicker answers, while every process change still needs evidence an engineer can defend.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My ring started looking worn after a few weeks, and people keep asking if it still works properly.”

What is at stake
Adhesion failures are appearing after rings pass cosmetic inspection, delaying qualification decisions. You must weigh faster correlation across build evidence against the engineer’s need to verify every physical cause.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster root-cause work vs. physical evidence quality
- PVD yield recovery vs. build disruption
- AI correlations vs. engineer-approved mechanisms
- supplier controls vs. reusable investigation patterns

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
