The Water Containment Report
A new standard for water risk.
What is installed? What feeds it? What can isolate it? How is a leak detected? Who can reach the valve, and what happens after the water is off? One building-specific assessment answers all of it — with the evidence attached.
CARS · the CriticalAsset Risk Score
Score the controls. Show the evidence.
The Water Containment Report scores a building with CARS — the CriticalAsset Risk Score — across eleven weighted categories, each scored against the building’s own records. The overall CARS score and band are recomputed by a deterministic checker from the category scores; the arithmetic is never left to a model. A category with nothing on record scores nothing, and the report is marked provisional until the evidence is captured.
- Asset graph completenessIs every water asset on record?
- Fed-from / fed-to qualityDo we know what feeds what?
- Isolation controlCan the right valve stop the right problem?
- Detection coverageWhere would a leak be noticed — and where wouldn’t it?
- Power dependency controlWhat does the response need electricity for?
- Maintenance obligation executionAre inspections and service actually done?
- SOP & curtailment readinessIs there a procedure people can use?
- Recovery & restoration readinessPartners, spend authority, the route back to use.
- Physical access readinessKeys, doors, after-hours — the locked-door problem.
- Tabletop & training proofHas anyone rehearsed it?
- Time-series evidence qualityHow fresh, continuous and trustworthy is the data?
CARS bands
What you get
A score that comes with its homework.
- A CARS score and bandCategory by category, recomputed and checked before it’s shown — and flagged provisional while evidence is thin.
- Evidence, partial, or nothing on recordEvery category shows what stands behind its score. Uncited judgement is labelled as judgement.
- Single points of failureThe valve that, if it fails or can’t be reached, takes the most of the building with it.
- Defects, not guessesImmediate, near-term or planned, with an estimated cost. A hypothesis is labelled a hypothesis and never moves the score.
- Tiered corrective actions — and where they take the scoreWhat to verify, repair or rehearse first, with target dates and the projected CARS at 120 and 365 days.
- An underwriting narrativeVerified controls, partially verified items and what is not evidenced — written for the broker’s office.
- Every sentence citedAssets, documents, obligations and work orders. Invented references are rejected by the checker.
Provisional. 25% of the score’s weight rests on categories with nothing on record. CARS gives no credit for what isn’t on record — the score moves when evidence is captured.
01 · At a glance
02 · CARS categories
Categories with nothing on record score zero until evidence is captured. Narratives without a citation are labelled as judgement, not fact.
03 · Single point of failure
04 · Open defects
05 · Corrective actions
06 · Validation
CLEO composes the assessment · MAX judges whether cited evidence supports each control · the guard recomputes the score and checks every citation. Not a certification, and never an instruction to operate equipment. Every action lands for human review.
How it’s built
Facts first. Judgment second. Proof always.
1 · The building record
Plans, asset inventory, fed-from topology, documents, maintenance obligations and work history — assembled from what the building already has, and from a walk of the site where needed.
2 · Specialist assessment
Purpose-trained specialists read the record and produce the category scores, defects and corrective actions in a fixed, auditable structure.
3 · Deterministic check
A checker recomputes every score and band, verifies every citation and flags any sentence that reads like an operating instruction.
4 · A living document
When a valve, a document or a requirement changes, the report says the assessment is stale — and a re-run refreshes it.
Alignment review — not certification. The report states requirements; qualified people decide and carry out actions. No insurance outcome is promised. The report is delivered on CriticalAsset.
