BEFORE THE DESIGN
Understand the work first.
Loads, routes, parts, repair skills, and costs belong in the brief, alongside ownership, operation, and maintenance. Local operators and partners should help shape the solution.
A useful result needs documentation and a practical handover, so the knowledge can keep serving the people who use it.
