Indeed I do Ford. What we have a probability attached to a certain letter(s) or mark. A mechanic can only be active during a finite time span & typically has at most a couple of tasks. So the time, the task & the tier will ferret them out. As M-4 notes, thru superposition of effort by certain mechanics one can sum up the quality of an offering. All I need to see a ledger, set of invoices, etc. & pretty much all will be apparent. At the very least, we will be able to narrow the field to just a few mechanics for a certain mark & when we add sourcing along family lines, I believe we'll have her if she doesn't jump. But then we will truly know every gunmaking family in Suhl & Z-M.
