Completions are historical events

Completed maintenance is not silently overwritten. Date, actor, notes, counter, costs and evidence form a traceable record.

From reminder to informed decision

Future assistance can use manuals and boat data to help prepare work. It will not replace manufacturer instructions or qualified professional judgment.

How it works in practice

Create intervals only from a current manual, workshop schedule or documented assessment. Calendar time and operating hours remain separate triggers. Lead times account for parts, yard bookings and practical access to the equipment.

What remains dependable

A completion records the starting condition, work, parts, measurements and current counter. The next due point therefore grows from an evidenced event rather than a generic checklist without model or usage context.
