Day one failures usually come from a few predictable gaps—misaligned ownership, stale creds, broken failovers, or missing evidence—not exotic bugs. In this 10‑minute interview Alex Morgan and Michael Harrington walk listeners through a pragmatic, vendor‑neutral suite of ten rapid acceptance smoke tests that can be run as a 30–60 minute sprint during closeout or pre‑move checks. We open with a short anonymized vignette: a tenant move-in delayed by a credential and failover mismatch to make the stakes tangible, then cover grouped checks (power failover, credential enroll/revoke, monitoring sanity, time alignment, metering sanity, temporary-service demobilization, spare retrieval, closet label-to-diagram spot, fallback comms bootstrap, and tenant-signal intake). For each test we explain what a simple pass/fail looks like, who should own it, and the minimal evidence to record. Listeners leave with three immediate actions and a downloadable “10 Smoke Tests” checklist on the Built, Wired & Secured resource hub (CTA: visit the show hub).
