The Readiness Record
See the actions behind the result.
A Readiness Record connects procedure checks with the decisions a learner made. Use it to focus feedback and plan the next practice run.
Machine-verified gates
Binary, checked in the engine.
- Was PPE on before the arc struck.
- Was amperage inside the procedure range.
- Were combustibles cleared.
Judgment assessment
Scored from what the trainee saw, did, and said during the session.
- Did they call the fire watch.
- How fast did they diagnose the fault.
- Did they stop work when they should have.
- Did their handoff include the problem, or leave it out.

Judgment assessment
Scored from what the trainee saw, did, and said. Line marks the cohort median.
- Procedure adherence4.4
Sequence followed without prompting
- Fault diagnosis speed4.0
Identified in 38 s (cohort median 2m 51s)
- Stop-work judgment4.6
Stopped work within 4 s of alarm
- Communication under pressure3.6
Callouts made, but late twice
- Handoff completeness3.1
Omitted the ground fault from the verbal handoff
Cleared to attempt the live plate test. Handoff communication requires a supervised re-run before sign-off.
This record documents simulated performance under observation. It is not an AWS, ASME, or NAVSEA qualification, and it does not substitute for a live test or a certifying authority’s sign-off.
In this example, the learner completes most procedure checks but misses important information in the handoff. The record makes that gap visible so an instructor can discuss it and plan another attempt.
