What are the potential risks associated with the short contract duration and the focus on a specific deficiency list?
The primary risk of a short duration and a focus on a deficiency list is that it might not address underlying systemic issues or future maintenance needs. If the deficiencies are indicative of broader problems, a short-term fix might lead to recurring issues or require additional, potentially more costly, interventions later. It also limits the opportunity for a comprehensive assessment.
