A capability is the inherent function of a physical asset or organisation. To enable a consistent approach, Capabilities are usually described as Verb Noun set. In that way also, Capabilities can be readily associated with the required Output (the second Key Principle of asset management) and the Level of Assurance (the third Key Principle).
So how many capabilities or functions does the pencil photographed have? 
As a start, consider that the pencil, its functions/output and Level of Assurance can be described in the following way, namely:
- As kindling for fire – thus the function is “supply heat” with an associated performance of “150 BTUs” with a confidence of 95% probability that the output will be delivered, when required.
- As an implement to write – thus the function is “provide a legible mark” with an associated performance of “0.2mm in width and 4km length” with a confidence of 95% probability that the output will be delivered, when required.
