With you. Then yours.

1. 1.

   Ownership is the default.

   The client should be able to operate, understand, and hand off the system without us.

2. 2.

   Automation is a tool, not a dependency.

   Tools should reduce effort without creating lock-in, confusion, or hidden control.

3. 3.

   Clarity beats cleverness.

   Simple, readable systems outlast “smart” stacks.

4. 4.

   Reliability is a feature.

   Predictable behavior matters more than novelty.

5. 5.

   Documentation is part of the deliverable.

   We ship short, literal guides for upkeep, break-fix, and future handoff.

6. 6.

   Support is optional, not required.

   If you keep us around, it’s because it helps, not because you’re trapped.
