Overview

  • Compare commitments, not intentions: response time, escalation route, and what triggers a site visit.
  • Ask what happens on a second failure of the same item — the answer reveals the spares policy.
  • Check whether training is delivered by the engineers who built the system or by a general training function.
  • Confirm the language and format of documentation, and whether updates are provided.
