Establish service-credit reserve before commitment launch

A performance commitment becomes a financial obligation before its full operating history exists.

Teams often have to balance customer certainty, reserve discipline, and evidence that is costly to validate.

We can handle incidents, but we can’t launch with vague rules about what happens next.
