MNT.5:2 - Problem

An available resource can be unsuitable for the task. Stock presence does not establish part compatibility, an organization chart does not establish available competence and a tool listing does not establish a usable measurement capability. A nominally quick repair can therefore have a long or uncertain real response time.

The opposite error is to require every conceivable support record before answering any maintenance question. Readiness concerns the selected work, not a universal administrative package.
