Operational test

Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates repair log in practice.

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 Repair Log is expected, enforced, or governed.
  • Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Repair Log in practice during real use or drills.
  • Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Repair Log performance over time.

Context

How this test fits the glossary entry

Category: System states & architectures

A living record of every mitigation, decision, and resource commitment made after a fault. Repair logs make accountability legible by linking people harmed, who intervened, and what evidence was used. Repair logs include whether affected people were restored, how long it took, and what remains unrepaired. They inform future care retrospectives , power audits, and service-level reports so follow-up work is traceable and burden does not drift back to the same communities. Minimum evidence User-facing artifact. Internal log. Drill / rehearsal.

D. System states & architectures. Operational postures that determine how harm is absorbed—or amplified.

Ethotechnics uses Repair Log to extend the d. system states & architectures vocabulary and connect governance, design, and policy teams.
