Diagnose and Decide
Bounded diagnostic package with decision charter, evidence register, causal model and closure plan.
How NIQS works
Evidence discipline before engineering action.
NuclearIQ Solutions is a founder-led specialist in nuclear mechanical integrity, plant reliability and modernization. Each mandate starts with the owner decision, makes uncertainty visible and connects the selected technical route to implementation and verification.
Operating model
Principal-led, bounded and decision-focused.
NIQS works alongside owner, operator, OEM and engineering teams. Project leadership is applied inside the technical mandate, not sold as generic capacity.
Engineer and Close
Defined engineering package with checked assessment, specification, acceptance criteria and residual actions.
Lead and Implement
Assigned technical workstream with integrated plan, hold points, supplier interfaces and closure dossier.
Specialist Teaming
Additional competence and checking are matched to the work. Formal roles remain with the responsible organisations.
Controlled method
Substantiate. Diagnose. Confirm diagnosis. Engineer. Validate solution. Verify implementation.
Evidence comes before diagnosis; diagnosis is confirmed before the solution is engineered. Validation then checks that the solution answers the intended need, while verification checks that it was implemented correctly. The chain may be compressed for a small review or expanded for a multi-party implementation programme.
- 01Substantiate
Establish the controlled evidence basis, rank sources and expose material gaps or conflicts.
- 02Diagnose
Develop the credible causal mechanism within the defined asset and decision boundary.
- 03Confirm diagnosis
Use discriminating evidence, tests or calculations to confirm the controlling mechanism.
- 04Engineer
Develop the assessment, specification, corrective action or deployment package.
- 05Validate solution
Demonstrate that the engineered solution addresses the intended plant need and operating context.
- 06Verify implementation
Check conformity with requirements and acceptance criteria, then retain residual actions.
Assurance controls
Make accountability, evidence and acceptance visible.
The control level is proportionate to the mandate. NIQS does not imply that every engagement requires the same governance, checking or independent-review structure.
| Control | What is made explicit | Decision value |
|---|---|---|
| Mandate boundary | Scope, exclusions, interfaces, formal roles and required owner inputs | Prevents assumed responsibility and uncontrolled scope |
| Source hierarchy | Authoritative documents, records, data quality and conflicts | Shows what each conclusion rests on |
| Assumptions and gaps | Unverified inputs, conservative values, sensitivity and closure actions | Prevents unsupported certainty |
| Checking basis | Preparer, checker, specialist input and required independence | Matches assurance to technical risk |
| Decision controls | Hold points, acceptance criteria, decision owner and change basis | Keeps analysis connected to action |
| Closure | Implementation evidence, residual actions and final disposition | Separates completed work from verified outcome |
Confidentiality and security boundary
Non-sensitive first contact. Controlled evidence exchange later.
The public website and ordinary email are not routes for plant-sensitive technical data.
- The public form accepts a generic issue summary only and no file attachments.
- Classified, export-controlled and plant-sensitive information is explicitly excluded.
- A controlled exchange route is agreed before technical files are transferred.
- Public claims, project details and results require evidence, confidentiality clearance and release approval.
- Client, partner and formal authority roles remain separated from NIQS delivery.
Public form delivery
The issue screen sends server-side to a fixed NIQS mailbox. The browser cannot select a recipient, sender or email template, and no delivery secret is exposed in public code.
Start with the owner decision
Describe what is known, what remains uncertain and what decision is blocked.
NIQS will return a Fit / No-Fit view and the appropriate delivery mode.
