Key Takeaways
- Start with a clear definition and engineering context before selecting methods.
- State assumptions explicitly so reviewers can trace decisions from data to output.
- Link the workflow to project constraints such as schedule, uncertainty, and standards.

Why It Matters in Offshore Wind
{{WHY_IT_MATTERS}}
How It Works
- Define scope, inputs, and acceptance criteria before calculations begin.
- Run the selected method using transparent assumptions and versioned inputs.
- Review outputs with checks for sensitivity, boundary cases, and operational relevance.
- Document findings with enough detail for independent technical review.

FAQ
What should be reviewed first when quality-checking this workflow?
Validate input provenance, stratigraphy interpretation assumptions, and boundary conditions before reviewing calculated outputs.
Can this method be reused across projects without changes?
The workflow can be reused, but assumptions and calibration should always be revisited for site-specific geology, loads, and operational constraints.
