Defect Diagnostic Wizard

You have a part in your hand with a mark you can't name. Suppliers, forums, and troubleshooting charts all assume you already know whether it's "splay" or "gas marks" or "flow lines", but the names are exactly what you're missing. Answer three questions about what you see, and this wizard narrows the field to the most likely patterns, each linked to its buyer review guide and evidence list. It identifies candidates to verify with your supplier, not a diagnosis.

1 · Where on the part is it?
2 · What does it look like?
3 · How does it behave?

The wizard matches visual patterns, and different mechanisms can look alike, moisture splay can mimic gas marks, voids can hide under clean surfaces. Treat the output as candidates to verify with the supplier against real process and tooling records, not a diagnosis.
