Maintenance budget planning

Invest in maintenance before the next outage lands on people.

Run scenarios that expose how funding choices shift reliability, burnout, and the spread of harm through your care infrastructure.

  • Incident preparedness
  • Maintenance rituals
  • Team safety

Change the mix of maintenance agreements, emergency buffers, and preventive coverage to see how reliability, burnout, and harm shift across your care infrastructure.

Use this to brief sponsors on the cost of skipping maintenance and the budgets required to protect care work.

Simulator overview

Share the model without forcing teams to load the tool.

This summary keeps the maintenance narrative linkable from other Ethotechnics pages. Sponsors can review the framing and decide whether they need the interactive simulator before downloading the bundle.

  • Budget levers highlight the impact of chronic underfunding and the point where burnout and harm drop.
  • Scenario descriptions explain how the simulator interprets deferred backlog, stabilization, and resilience investment.
  • Accessibility-first controls and summaries make the tool screen reader friendly once it is launched.

Model the maintenance moves before you set the budget.

Choose a maintenance scenario, dial in the available budget, and balance preventive coverage. The simulator highlights how each move shifts team reliability, burnout risk, and the propagation of harm.

Reliability (higher is better)
Burnout risk (lower is better)
Harm propagation (lower is better)

Interactive simulator

Coming soon

The interactive maintenance budget simulator is almost ready. Until then, share the overview PDF to brief sponsors and crews on the scenarios.
