Or Sikorsky…

Some contracts have max damage amounts. So there is no incentive to push past a point (of failure).

Ask the crew and passengers on the Hindenburg ?

Almost every contract has limitations of liability.
Specific Performance is what you want….

I like the idea of the CEO and Sr Mgmt sailing or failing with the vessel/aircraft after a major refit.

From what I have gleaned on the "Father of the USN Nuclear Sub Force" Rickover could be a dick BUT when you're dealing with nukes.....being a dick is what is needed

I work in the nuclear industry and have worked with quite a number of individuals who have come from the US Navy nuclear program. They were, all of them, excellent workers and extremely knowledgeable.

The US nuclear navy program has an excellent history of performance. US navy reactors have a stellar record.

One of the keys to that success is strict procedural compliance. Procedures drive everything. Everything that is done is done based on a documented, reviewed and approved procedure. If a situation is encountered not covered by procedure, no one is permitted to come up with a work-around or improvisation. No one (not even the CO) has the authority to deviate from procedures.

I am not a nuclear expert - far from it - but there are some procedures you don't mess with. I reckon you don't make things up as you go...
