How the sections relate

Fundamentals provides the common language. Transport, Water, Energy, Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance apply that language to major operating systems. System Profiles examines distinctive building, municipal and utility systems that cross section boundaries.

Placement rule: pages remain here when their main purpose is to explain how a system works. Cost, insurance, regulatory, digital-infrastructure or organization-wide risk topics may link to a more specialized WRS publication instead.
