The brief
Repair lifecycle-plan.json. Fictional project: 100 units,2 operating years. Products (id:capacity,lead days,purchase$,manufacturing carbon/water,annual energy/water/maintenance$): standard:100,5,500,20/10,20/10/15; efficient:80,7,700,35/15,10/5/10; refurbished:60,4,350,5/3,30/20/30 (reused). Operating energy costs $2/unit and .5 carbon/unit; water $1/unit. Transport (mode:cost/carbon per device,added lead,min units): local:10/2,0,1; consolidated:5/1,2,40. Arrival=dispatchAt+maximum selected source lead+transport lead. Year-2 retirement source T2/recovery-owner: takeback capacity100,min80,per-device cost/carbon/water 8/1/.2; landfill 2/3/0. Takeback+landfill must equal allocated units. No avoided-impact credits. Corporate hard limits: totalCost≤71000,totalCarbon≤4650,totalWater≤3520,arrival≤8. Permitted fictional sponsor policies available day0: water-first/PW targets totalWater≤2820; circular-use/PC targets reusedUnits≥50. Both retain all hard limits. Decide with sponsor and exact policy source before dispatch. allocation rows {product,units} positive integers; logistics {mode,dispatchAt}; retirement {takeback,landfill,owner,evidenceRef,atYear}; decision {policy,owner,evidenceRef,at,comparison}. report: totalUnits,purchaseCost,operatingCost,transportCost,retirementCost,totalCost,manufacturingCarbon,operatingCarbon,transportCarbon,retirementCarbon,totalCarbon,totalWater,reusedUnits,arrival. Multiply annual use/maintenance by TWO years; include manufacturing, logistics and retirement burdens. comparison: baseline:standard-local-80,costDelta,carbonDelta,waterDelta,reuseDelta. Fixed baseline is 100 standard,local,dispatch0,takeback80,landfill20. Report chosen totals minus that baseline, including unfavorable dimensions. Different quantities and recovery flows can satisfy either policy. Money 2 decimals,impacts/days 4. Save, test and repair without Reset.
What the checks verify
Your work is graded on 10 independent properties, not on matching one reference answer.
- The allocation, lifecycle and priority records are unique, known and finite.
- The complete required equipment population stays in the assessment.
- The selected source quantities fit actual supplier stock.
- Actual source and transport lead time meets delivery and shipment bounds.
- Reported burdens reconcile across procurement, two-year operation, logistics and retirement.
- The full lifecycle preserves independent money, carbon and water hard limits.
- The policy decision retains the supplied sponsor, exact source and timing.
- The selected policy's actual water or reuse result is achieved.
- Every allocated unit has an accounted bounded year-two retirement route.
- The decision records real favorable and unfavorable differences from a common lifecycle baseline.
