Name the actual shocks the thing must survive, and how long each one lasts. Not "life gets busy" but specific, sized events with a stated duration, so you can tell whether your protection is built for the real worst case or a comfortable imaginary one.

Example

For guitar night: a newborn's first six months of broken sleep, your two-week travel stretch each quarter, and one friend's busy season from tax time through April 15. Three named shocks, each with a length, so you design for six months and not six days.
