FFN Surface

Surface early warning signals before they harden into failure modes. What is starting to go wrong—quietly?

FM Scanner shows what's broken. FFN Surface shows what's breaking.
Field Notes are conditions. Failure Modes are patterns. Conditions precede patterns.

▶ What this tool is / What this tool is not

This tool is

  • An early signal detector using keyword density and pattern matching
  • A way to see conditions before they become patterns
  • A companion to FM Scanner (conditions → patterns)
  • A lead generator for structural attention
  • AR-001 compliant: it whispers, not accuses

This tool is not

  • A diagnosis—Field Notes are observations, not conclusions
  • Predictive—it shows what's present, not what will happen
  • Complete—21 FFNs, 4 Confirmed + 17 Observed
  • Certain—lexical matching has limits
  • Prescriptive—no recommendations, no fixes
