Attribution
This site builds on shared reliability practice, public incident history, and industry literature. The value here is in the synthesis, framing, and operating models.
Common knowledge
SLOs, SLIs, SLAs, RTO, RPO, error budgets, incident response patterns, and observability basics are established industry concepts. They are not claimed as original inventions here.
Original framing claimed here
The distinctive contributions include reliability as continuous negotiation, the incentive-layer framing, the time-governed operating lens, and the way finance, architecture, and operations are tied together in The Reliability Survival Guide.
