Operational test
Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect the principle of low-failure-load design.
Use this test to validate operational readiness.
Pair this test with the minimum evidence criteria to capture both qualitative and quantitative signals.
- Evidence artifact: Artifact documenting how The Principle of Low-Failure-Load Design is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing The Principle of Low-Failure-Load Design in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor The Principle of Low-Failure-Load Design performance over time.
Design so that when failures occur, human impact is contained. This principle motivates graceful degradation , care floors , and low irreversibility indices .
