REF. NO. PH-03
Truth Over Theater
Progress is measured by resolved user pain, not by visual novelty or rhetoric.
PRINCIPLE
EVERY FEATURE MUST JUSTIFY ITSELF THROUGH MEASURABLE BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES.
REF. NO. PH-04
Reliability Is Respect
Stability is a product value. Predictable systems communicate care.
