Avoid preventable mistakes.

Poor decisions often begin with incomplete assumptions. Check the constraints, dependencies, and long-term consequences before committing.

Look beyond the obvious.

Small details can have a disproportionate effect on cost, performance, safety, or reliability. Examine what could change the outcome before moving forward.

Understand what matters.

Good decisions depend on context. Understand which factors are relevant, how they interact, and how each one affects the outcome before deciding where your attention matters most.

Follow proven practice.

Prefer approaches that are verifiable, maintainable, and appropriate to real operating conditions. Good design reduces risk before it becomes a problem.
