Representative scenario
A prior project found and documented an asset. Years later, a different crew needs it but cannot connect the old record to the current work area. They repeat the search, ask around, and create a new note.
The second visit may be necessary for verification. It becomes avoidable rediscovery when the first finding was never made useful to the next person.
Leave a better starting point
A durable asset connection, a verification date, and a clear field note can turn a one-time finding into organizational knowledge.
This is a representative scenario, not a measured claim about a particular project or cost.
