Process
Short loops, live software, and decisions you can audit later.
Progress you can see every week, and software your team can maintain.

The riskiest assumption gets built first, as real code against real data.

Principles
How we make calls under time pressure.
Deploy on day one
A live environment from day one removes the riskiest week of any project.
Evaluate, don't vibe-check
AI features need test sets. We build them early so quality is measurable.
Write the decision down
Every trade-off gets a short written record.
Mobile is the default view
Every interface is reviewed on a phone browser before it ships.
Fewer, better abstractions
We keep the stack small so complexity stays where your value is.
Say no early
If a feature will not earn its maintenance cost, we say so early.
