Evidence before claims.
The goal is not to produce code quickly. The goal is to turn a difficult idea into the smallest useful experiment and establish what the evidence actually supports.
What counts as evidence
A build is not a pass. Static analysis is not runtime validation. A previous pass is not a pass for a changed version. Claims are tied to the test that actually ran.
Stable cores stay stable
Once a core is validated and frozen, new experiments are added around it. A frozen component is reopened only when new evidence shows a regression or a requirement makes the change necessary.
Unknown stays unknown
If a critical test has not been run, the result remains unconfirmed. Missing evidence is not replaced with a convenient assumption.
AI-assisted engineering
AI is used as an engineering instrument for analysis, implementation and validation. The final claim still depends on executed tests and recorded outputs, not on generated text.
