Every question begins somewhere.

The space, activity, geometry, material, environment, time and people involved determine which information matters.

Context creates requirements.

Some can be expressed numerically.

Others concern visual comfort, perception, maintainability, accessibility, environmental impact or experience.

TFM separates the requirement from the proposed solution.

Requirements should be supported by information whose origin can be examined.

Evidence may come from standards, research, measurements, technical documentation or established computational methods.

Different sources carry different limitations.

Those distinctions should remain visible.

Where behaviour can be calculated, simulated or analysed, the inputs and assumptions matter as much as the final number.

TFM aims to expose both.

Several technically valid solutions may exist.

A decision therefore needs more than a result.

It needs context, evidence, constraints and alternatives.

The installed or measured environment is the final source of information.

Where outcome data becomes available, it can be compared with the original requirements, evidence and predictions.

The outcome then becomes new evidence.

Context creates requirements.

Requirements identify evidence.

Evidence supports computation.

Computation informs decisions.

Decisions create outcomes.

Outcomes improve future knowledge.

TFM is being built around that continuous loop.
