URMC-Based Interpretive Engineering Methodology for Systemic Competence Filtering in Evacuation, Maritime First Aid, and Safety-Critical Hydro Operations

This preprint introduces a URMC-based (Universal Regularized Cascade Metric) interpretive engineering methodology for identifying systemic competence gaps and non-obvious failure modes in evacuation scenarios, maritime first aid environments, and safety-critical hydro-engineering operations. The methodology does not assess individuals, professional titles, certifications, or formal training records. Instead, it focuses on detecting structural mismatches between procedural compliance and real-world system behavior under conditions of time pressure, uncertainty, and irreversible consequences. Particular attention is given to situations where advisory signals, decision authority, and physical system limits interact dynamically, such as during evacuation processes and first-aid decision-making in maritime and hydro-industrial contexts. The framework functions as a systemic and cognitive filter, revealing whether practitioners are capable of perceiving cascade effects, fail-safe boundaries, and responsibility transitions across interconnected subsystems. This methodology is non-prescriptive and provides no operational instructions or medical guidance. It introduces no regulatory requirements and is intended solely for interpretive analysis, pilot evaluation, and research purposes. This work is part of the URMC / Interpretive Engineering research direction and is published independently, without affiliation to political, corporate, medical, or regulatory organizations.
