Reliability and Engineering Requirements
summary
Makes reliability a measurable allocation problem: overall uptime is the product of component reliabilities, so design chooses equal, focused or achievability apportionment and targets like 99.9% where feasible. Produces artifacts — reliability block diagrams, hazard analysis and failure mode analysis — and operationalizes validation with short checklists, PR/FAQ docs, moderated deep dives, a question bank, chaos and stress tests, and a backlog of red/yellow follow-ups that drive decisions and escalations.
