Zusammenfassung:	Methods of the present disclosure relate to designing lost circulation material (LCM) based on permeability of filter cake. A method comprises determining if a lost circulation material (LCM) has the potential to bridge a fracture, the fracture extending from a wellbore; determining a permeability of filter cake formed due to the LCM, wherein the permeability is determined if the LCM has the potential to bridge the fracture; and formulating a composition that includes the LCM, to control losses from the wellbore.
