Maintenance turns reliability from luck into process.

When maintenance is left to chance, reliability is luck and it eventually runs out. When it is a process, with a rhythm and a checklist and someone responsible, reliability becomes something you produce rather than something you hope for. The difference is not effort so much as system.

Take something you depend on and give it an actual process rather than good intentions. A repeating reminder is enough. Turning hope into procedure is the whole move.
