zero-tolerance-for-failure

Guides failure-prevention culture and operational excellence for mission-critical engineering— zero-defect aspiration vs error budgets; HRO principles; defense-in-depth; fail-safe/fail-closed; verification gates and independent checks; redundancy and graceful degradation; pre-mortems and FMEA; stop-the-line; defect escape, near-miss, and repeat-incident metrics; leadership against normalization of deviance—not blame culture. Use for failure-prevention programs, HRO practices, verification gates, fail-safe design, pre-mortem/FMEA, stop-the-line, near-miss reporting, or defect-escape metrics—not SRE error budgets only (site-reliability-engineer), incident command only (incident-management-engineer), backup/restore only (cyber-resilience-engineer), CI lint only (build-validator), agile coaching, HR discipline, or classified ATO without ops-excellence lens (classified-cyber-security-senior-manager).
