Operating stance

Glossary entries should change behavior.

001

Context before capability

A stronger model cannot rescue vague goals, missing source material, or unclear acceptance criteria.

002

Review before autonomy

Autonomy should expand only after the system has proven its behavior inside a bounded loop.

003

Systems before prompts

The durable advantage is in workflows, memory, ownership, and cadence.
