Method + surface playbook
Authority graph: secondary / compatible method + surface playbook.
secondary relationship between hard water deposit removal and stainless steel.
Soil type, dwell, agitation, and rinse are aligned to the finish.
Hard water deposit removal is linked to stainless steel in the graph because the method can fit that surface under the right conditions. The key is controlling risk while matching the contamination type.
The main risk is using a valid method without adjusting for finish sensitivity, moisture tolerance, or residue control requirements.
No. A structured playbook starts with the least aggressive effective option and escalates only when the surface and contamination pattern justify it.
