Define specs clearly, split into atomic milestones, and verify goals before shipping.
2. AI-assisted, not AI-driven
Use AI tools (Claude Code, Codex) to 10x velocity while retaining deep review and judgment.
3. Practical & delivery-focused
Optimize for business outcomes, high execution speed, and bulletproof system reliability.
4. Seamless remote collaboration
Async-first communication, written-first documentation, and London-to-US timezone overlap.
