MAINT-GOV — Maintenance Contract

Purpose​

Use maintenance hours to reduce friction, prepare execution, and prevent small disorder from spreading into the week.

Contract​

Maintenance is valid when it:

  • prepares the next block;
  • closes a small loop;
  • cleans a broken link/path/context;
  • reduces house/body/admin friction;
  • updates state cheaply;
  • prevents future rework.

Inputs​

  • Maintenance quicklist
  • Weekly board
  • Helper pages
  • Broken links
  • Small operational debts
  • Inboxes or loose notes
  • Route cards if applicable

Outputs​

  • Cleaner context
  • Prepared block
  • Closed loop
  • Repaired link
  • Updated small state
  • Deferred item with next pointer

Tick valid when​

One real source of friction was reduced or explicitly parked with a next pointer.

Stop rule​

Maintenance is not open-ended debugging, refactoring, project redesign, or a productivity sink.
