+\section{Some requirements for a failure mode methodolgy}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item All component failure modes must be considered in the model.
+\item It should be easy to integrate mechanical, electronic and software models.
+\item It should be re-usable, in that commonly used modules can be re-used in other designs/projects.
+\item It should have a formal babsis, that is to say it should be able to produce mathematical proofs
+for its results.
+\item It should be capable of producing reliability and danger evaluation statistics.
+\item It should be easy to use.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+OK need to describe the need for it
+
+
+
+AND then how we can solve all there problems
+
+
+AND then a rough outline of what is needed
+
+
+AND then a general description of symptom extraction
+
+AND the hierarchy...
