Wouldn't the answers depend on your carrier's Ops Specs? Carriers RVR T/O limits can vary.

Look in your ops specs, should be under below standard t.o. mins. it'll tell you exactly what you need.

It's in your airlines op specs. Fortunately the ops specs are the same for all operators. They can pick and choose which ones they want to use.

Check your ops spec but if it is what the norm is...

yes
ops spec and 10-9
yes if 10-9 says so for intended runway
no
yes...its in ops spec.

How do you know?
What if RVR is reported as 6-6-6, can we depart?
What if it drops to 5-6-6?
What if an RVR value isn’t reported But the others are 6 and 6, can we depart? How do you know?

This sounds like something you pulled as interview gouge from mypilotcareer.com

The answer to all these questions is to simply look on the back of airport diagram (the 10-9 page).

Can you depart? Just find the runway and look at what RVR is required. Easy enough.

If 6-6-6, then look at the requirements you need (usually says something like need CLs and RCLM). Again, just look at that table. If you have the items required, you can go.

Drops to 5-6-6? typically, no go. But again, look at your specific chart.

"What if an RVR value isn’t reported But the others are 6 and 6, can we depart? How do you know?"

Look right in that table, you'll see something that addresses this. Usually something like, "If one RVR inop, other two must be reporting."
So again, just look at the thing, and answer the questions.

It's all straightforward.

I get mine from the FAA.

The reason that the Jeppesen 10-9 page can normally be used is because of its source US Ops Spec C078. I'll compare my C078 with yours and I'll bet that they both read the same.
