iv. Or-gate the POE of all corrosion features designated as Rupture features within
the segment (yielding POERupture,Combined):

vii. Where the segment does not pass the above segment-specific reliability check,
perform an iterative routine where individual corrosion features are ranked in
descending order of POE. Leak features must be multiplied by cr before ranking.
Features are eliminated until the above segment-specific reliability check passes.
Features with the highest POE are targeted for repair first.

i. The process is exactly the same as Case 1 except that it occurs within each
distinct Evaluation Interval, EI (shown in yellow in the above diagram).
