The applicable procedure
Targets and durations need a defensible basis in the relevant procedure. The workflow should not impose one universal pass threshold across different equipment, configurations or conditions.
Vacuum Buddy
Keep equipment context, the actual micron source and an observed decay together through a guided workflow.

Purpose, prerequisites and the evidence that belongs to the task.
Vacuum work deserves an account of what was actually observed. Vacuum Buddy is intended to carry equipment identity and circuit context through evacuation, explicit isolation, the start of decay, observation and review. The record should include the actual micron source, applicable target and duration, timestamps, trace and measurement quality. These details make the result interpretable; a polished timer or animation cannot substitute for them.
Targets and durations need a defensible basis in the relevant procedure. The workflow should not impose one universal pass threshold across different equipment, configurations or conditions.
The technician confirms isolation and the start of decay. The app must preserve that distinction and must not imply that it operated a pump, valve or physical service tool.
A completed observation and an inconclusive one are different outcomes. Stale data, a disconnected source or an unconfirmed isolation step cannot support a pass.
Open a step to inspect what needs to stay clear.
Confirm the physical unit, circuit, source and applicable procedure. Missing context remains a setup question rather than being filled from a previous job.
Display the actual reported micron evidence and its freshness. Preserve interruptions so the record describes what the instrument supplied during the observation window.
Record the technician’s explicit isolation confirmation and decay start. A screen transition alone should not claim that the physical system was isolated.
Review the trace, duration, source quality and applicable expectation. Show missing evidence and inconclusive conditions before the technician accepts a stated result.
The intended handoff carries that current observation once into related work. Historical or interrupted observations remain reviewable without becoming today’s status.
Recording a trace does not by itself certify the absence of leaks or moisture. This is a product-workflow description, not a service instruction. Complete physical acceptance, durable saving and the vacuum-to-charge journey remain in development.
