How Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 5 key data points from your decision description, then the logic-based rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)disagrees with other methodologies.
