Decision frame

Three questions before the trial

01

Does it reach the right context?

Useful access can improve output and increase privacy, permission and stale-source risk at the same time.

02

Can you verify the answer?

Source links, change tracking and audit logs matter more than a persuasive paragraph.

03

What is the correction burden?

Time saved before review is not value if the failure is expensive to find.
