Beyond Code Compliance

Codes are a baseline for life safety. Risk-informed decisions often require going further: defining performance objectives framing consequences and downtime understanding uncertainty and hazard intensity choosing where additional robustness is worth the cost This site will collect practical notes on how to think that way.
