Method + surface playbook
Authority graph: primary / preferred method + surface playbook.
primary relationship between hard water deposit removal and shower glass.
Soil type, dwell, agitation, and rinse are aligned to the finish.
Hard water deposit removal is linked to shower glass 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.
