The transition between outgoing and incoming operator is the single most exposed contractual moment of the lifecycle.
If defects are not properly managed: Liabilities transfer, Identified & classified consistently, Maintenance backlog risk materializes, Evidenced properly, Asset conditions become financially binding, Notified within contractual deadline, Notification deadlines determine enforceability, They become the operator's burden for the entire contract

ISO 55000 Aligned Assessment Framework
Condition A: New or as-new, no defects, full operational capability. Condition B: Good condition, minor defects, no impact on performance. Condition C: Fair condition, moderate defects, some performance impact. Condition D: Poor condition, significant defects, major performance impact. Condition E: Critical condition, severe defects, immediate action required.
