On: Type in the exact number of machines to proceed

[viraptor]

I try to do that during incidents. I'm not 100% there since it's no a company rule, but it helps me at the time and later when writing up details: "I see <behaviour X>", "<Y> should fix it because <Z>", "I'm starting to do <Z> now and seeing ...", etc.

It also helps when Z results in a total meltdown and you need to pull in more people to help out, so they have context of what happened.

French firefighters do this when arriving at a scene. The first messages sent over the radio will say:

- I am... (who you are and where you are)

- I see... (describe what you see in simple non-ambiguous terms)

- I do... (what action you are taking now)

- I ask... (ask for reinforcements if necessary, you may be asked to justify yourself more)
