1. Purpose before hype
   Solve real problems. If it doesn’t serve people, it’s just noise.
2. Progress is outcomes, not buzzwords
   Change is what improves lives, not what fills slides.
3. Fix the culture, not just the tool
   No tech can fix a broken team. Trust is the real platform.
4. Pilot like you mean it
   Try it to learn, not to show off. If it fails, say so, and move on.
5. The public is the only shareholder
   If people don’t get it, don’t trust it, or don’t need it: rethink it or forget it.
6. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
   True agility is steady, clear, and human-paced.
7. Clear the dust, often
   Old rules and broken tools slow you down. Clean up to move forward.
8. “No” protects the mission
   Trends fade. Integrity lasts. Say no to stay true.
9. Quiet work builds loud trust
   You don’t need noise to matter. Integrity earns attention.
10. Don’t automate the human out of you
    Systems help. Empathy leads. Stay human. Always.
