How we deliver
Start with the decision that changes the build
We lock the product boundary, success signal, and ownership model before scaling implementation.
Frame the problem
Document users, constraints, integrations, and the smallest useful release.
Build the operable slice
Ship a reviewable increment with tests, observability, and clear acceptance.
Transfer ownership
Leave docs, runbooks, and next-step options your team can actually run.
