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.
