The quietly critical follow-up
The less visible but key part of pricing reform is the arrangement after completion, here as mapping site conditions first. Build-only is step one; long-term service is the harder test, because a tariff nobody understands will be contested, and a meter nobody maintains will eventually stop telling the truth everyone depends on daily.
What transfers locally
Conditions differ but the approach is portable: assess, design, pilot, expand. Especially worth adopting is the rule that facilities must not sit unmanaged after installation. Settle who benefits, pays and manages early, and the named owner is what keeps the reform from quietly dying after the launch event ends and attention moves on.
Classify before promoting
Sort outside experience into copy, adjust and drop: methods, meeting order and record habits can copy; cost sharing, household structure and site need adjustment; rigid external metrics should be dropped. Validate small before deciding scope, and the classification is what prevents an expensive import of someone else's mistake.
