PBRCIM Logic-Map

This tool operationalizes the PBRCIM framework for silent failures. If Diagnosis Engine is the automated error scanner, LogicMap is the surgical suite. It maps expected behavior, isolates the exact divergence point, and restores system intent. Built from real world production diagnostics.

LogicMap User Manual

Level 1: Quick Start

  1. Select Load CI/CD Example to review a documented case
  2. Select Generate Report to view the formatted output
  3. Select Clear All and input your incident details in Step 1
  4. Complete steps 1 - 7 sequentially
  5. Select Generate Report → Copy Markdown to export

Level 2: Step Definitions

  • Step 1: Document reproduced behavior with logs, metrics, or user reports
  • Step 2: Define expected system behavior per design specification
  • Step 3: Tabulate each stage comparing expected vs observed outcomes
  • Step 4: Contrast working and non-working execution paths
  • Step 5: Identify the technical divergence point. Requires Steps 1 - 4 to be complete
  • Step 6: Specify remediation and verification criteria
  • Step 7: System-generated audit trail

Level 3: Methodological Requirements

  • Incomplete Expected Behavior: Divergence cannot be identified without a defined baseline
  • Insufficient Evidence: Replace generic descriptions with quantifiable data and commit references
  • Premature Resolution: Root cause must be derived from divergence analysis, not assumed

PBRCIM Stepper 1-7

1. Broken Behavior
What went wrong? Describe the symptom without guessing the cause yet.
2. Expected Behavior Flow
What was the intended sequence? List the happy path.
3. Actual vs Expected
Compare each stage. Where does reality diverge from intent?
Stage Observed
4. Mismatch
Summarize the key divergence. What pattern broke?
5. Working vs Broken Paths
Side-by-side comparison. What changed between good and bad runs?
6. Divergence Point
The exact line, config, or condition where intent broke. Be specific.
7. Corrective Action + Verification
What fixes it? How will you verify intent is restored?
