Abstract: Monitoring complex industrial assets relies on engineer-authored symbolic rules that trigger on sensor conditions and prompt technicians to perform corrective actions. The bottleneck is not detection but response: translating rules into maintenance steps requires asset-specific knowledge gained through years of practice. We investigate whether LLMs can serve as decision support for this rule-to-action step and introduce \ours{}, a benchmark of 6{,}690 multiple-choice questions generated from 118 expert-authored rule-action pairs across 16 asset types, with experts reviewing the generated prompts for layout and conversational flow. We contribute (i) a symbolic-to-MCQA pipeline normalizing rules to Disjunctive Normal Form with embedding-based distractor sampling, (ii) five variants probing distinct failure modes (Pro, Pert, Verbose, Aug, Rationale), and (iii) a benchmark of 29 LLMs and 4 embedding baselines. A human evaluation (9 practitioners, mean 45.0\%) confirms \ours{} requires specialist knowledge beyond operational experience. Three findings stand out: the frontier has closed, with the top three LLMs within one Macro point and inseparable under rule-level tests. Yet \ours{}\,Pro exposes brittleness, with the leader losing 13.8 Macro points and smaller models losing over 60\% of their accuracy under distractor expansion. \ours{}\,Aug exposes pattern-matching: under condition inversion, the leading model still selects the original answer 63\% of the time. Frontier models handle template-style fault detection but break under structural perturbation.
