Decision Support Frameworks Built on Better Data

Asset management decisions shouldn’t rely on guesswork. PSD Citywide helps organizations build structured frameworks that integrate condition data, lifecycle planning, and risk modeling into actionable, long-term strategies.

From deciding when to assess, when to maintain or replace, and how to prioritize spending and investments, our frameworks ensure defensible, repeatable processes that support capital planning and regulatory requirements.

What We Deliver

Condition Assessment Frameworks

We work with clients to create condition inspection cycles and rating criteria that provide the insight needed to plan maintenance, prioritize investments, and extend asset life.

Lifecycle Management Frameworks

We work with clients to design proactive maintenance, renewal, and replacement plans to minimize total asset lifecycle cost.

Risk Management Frameworks

We develop frameworks to prioritize investments based on asset condition, criticality, and overall risk to service.

Levels of Service Frameworks

We help organizations measure current and target service levels, and track performance trends to align service delivery with community expectations and available resources.

Proactive AMP Integration

We work with clients to embed these decision frameworks within Asset Management Plans, and help achieve service levels, regulatory compliance, and financial prudence.
