Principles
How we decide what to do and what not to do.
Problems before technology
Technology is used when it responds to a sufficiently relevant need.
Implementation before discourse
We prefer working processes over aspirational narratives with no adoption.
Evidence before expansion
We scale only when there are verifiable signals of use, outcomes and sustainability.
