Every asset you have deployed is a Unit in the ledger, and every service visit is a cost written against it. Which means asset health is not a separate discipline from margin — it is the same number, observed earlier. This is the checklist we run, and the one Plan & Flow automates once it is reading your data.
Deferred maintenance does not show up as a maintenance problem. It shows up as an unplanned truck roll, a warranty claim, a customer who does not renew, and a unit whose real payback is eighteen months longer than the model said. By the time it is visible in the P&L it is nine months old.
Print it, or work it in the product once Plan & Flow is reading your stock and service history. Each one maps to something the ledger can eventually watch for you — the right-hand column says which module.
| Check | Manual cadence | Once wired |
|---|---|---|
| Past interval | quarterly count | continuous, with the list |
| Unplanned vs planned ratio | quarterly | trended, alerted on inflection |
| Parts cover for planned visits | guessed | committed-vs-available on the visit date |
| Unbilled maintenance entitlement | rarely checked at all | reconciled every cycle |
| Service cost per unit | not tracked per unit | an Event on the unit ledger |
A free Margin Scan reads what you already have and returns a figure. Maintenance leakage is one of the three places it usually comes from.
