Your brief

Our engineer knows older machines well, but none of that knowledge is documented.

Possible draft

Fictional example: specialist knowledge

The expertise may be valuable. Rarity needs evidence, while dependence on one person raises a support risk. Knowledge transfer becomes a possible first action.
