Principles
Deployments differ. Places differ. These do not. They are the commitments every piece of the work is held to.
01
Attend to human need while gathering as little of the human as the task allows. This is the first principle and the one the others defend.
02
A building and its occupants own what their own walls come to know. Intelligence is not quietly carried off to somewhere else.
03
The neighbourhood a place sits in is a party to be served. We begin from what a community knows is wrong, and earn trust by solving it.
04
Nothing essential is allowed to depend on a single point that cannot be replaced. What can be substituted can be trusted.
05
Proof comes before promise. We would rather demonstrate quietly than announce loudly.
06
Not how much is known, not how much is processed — only whether the people touched by the work are better served for it.
