Operating system

How We Do

A living place for the habits, standards, and working agreements that make WhatDo easier to build and easier to trust.

Principles

Write the why

Decisions should leave a trail: the context, the tradeoff, and what would change our mind.

Make work visible

Capture the current state plainly so people can join, review, or improve the work without archaeology.

Prefer small loops

Ship useful increments, learn from them, and keep the next step close enough to act on.
