# RISK-N-0001 — noisy neighbours, uncharacterised
Named in `INTENT.md` as waiting: NetKingdom's *Tenancy Posture* leaves the
noisy-neighbour behaviour of shared components uncharacterised — how one
tenant's load degrades another's service is not measured anywhere.
**Ruled a note, not a finding, on 2026-08-19.**
The floor asks two questions. *Could an owner act?* Yes —
`railiance-platform` could characterise it. *Does recording it change a
decision?* Today, no. Nothing in the estate currently has two tenants sharing a
workload heavy enough for the answer to matter, so a register entry would
change nobody's ordering and would sit there being read past.
What is missing here is measurement, not remediation. That is work someone
schedules, not a defect the register routes — and the register is explicitly
not the place where undone work is logged.
It comes back the day two tenants first share a saturating workload, or at the
production transition, whichever is first. If characterisation then shows one
tenant can degrade another, that is a finding with a severity, and this note is
its provenance.
Filed as a note so that "we saw it" survives without inflating the register.
