Practices audited one at a time: endures, transforms, dissolves, emerges.

transforms

Auditability

Auditable is a property of the artifact. Audited is a property of somebody's attention — and attention, not transparency, is now the binding constraint.

transforms

Product requirements documents

From persuasion document to executable intent — the PRD becomes the mesh, or it becomes noise.

emerges

The agent team

More agents is not more capacity. What decides the economics is whether they share state or hand off — topology, not headcount.

transforms

The phased lifecycle

Phases were scheduling for scarce specialists. The dependency order survives; the bounded, owned, gated stage does not.

emerges

The fact graph

A store of claims a human has approved, gating what the machine may assert — and naming everything that goes stale when one is retired.

endures

Design Thinking — empathise & define

Problem-framing was always the highest-leverage work; the engine makes it the highest-paid.
