Using a kink dynamic as a proverbial airplane, there are checks that can be done at certain intervals to assess the condition of the dynamic. Just as an aircraft needs maintenance, a dynamic needs occasional maintenance as well. There are some ways that you can use the maintenance cycle of an aircraft in your kink dynamics. There are four primary types of scheduled aircraft maintenance, labeled from A to D. An A check is very frequent, while a D check is very time-consuming. While this does not negate having to fix problems as they arise, it can be a good starting point for negotiating a dynamic or contracts related to a kink dynamic. This presentation takes a look at the four major aircraft checks and how you can apply them to your dynamic.
