Measurement Types
The progression rule says which way a value may move over time. A
DESCENDING type such
as wheel diameter may not increase; an ASCENDING one may not decrease. A reset action —
a reframing, say — permits the movement, because the material has been restored.
The progression rule is enforced only at import. Nothing in the application or the
analytics re-checks it, so it is a data-quality gate on the way in rather than an ongoing
constraint.
Measurement Thresholds
One row per (measurement type, component type) pair, carrying a nominal, a minimum and a maximum value. The row does two jobs:- It registers the pair as importable at all. A measurement whose type-and-component-type combination has no threshold is refused outright — this is the gate, not a warning.
- It bounds the value. A measurement outside the minimum or maximum rejects the whole file. Bounds are inclusive, and each is only enforced if it is set.
