A reference companion to the whole diagnosis series. The posts use a lot of jargon — cohort, DTC, confounder, dominant stressor, residual, RUL — and this page defines all of it in one plain sentence each, grouped by theme so you can read a section or look one term up.
It covers both halves of the field: diagnostics (explaining a failure that already happened) and prognostics (forecasting one that hasn’t yet), plus the statistics, causal reasoning, reliability math, quality engineering, and data/AI machinery that the series leans on.

Where it sits
This is the reference shelf for The Diagnosis Series. Read the series in order, or keep this open in a second tab and look up terms as you go.
