Selected notes

Product judgment, made explicit.

01

Automation succeeds or fails in the exception path

Happy-path automation creates speed. Deliberate failure, retry, override and recovery behavior creates trust.

  • Define ambiguity before automating it
  • Make failure visible and recoverable
  • Preserve authorized human judgment
See the principle in context
02

Prioritization is decision architecture

A prioritized queue is not a sorted list. It is a product model for eligibility, state, risk, timing and explainability.

  • Separate eligibility from priority
  • Make reason codes understandable
  • Use exceptions as product-learning signals
See the principle in context
03

Data quality is product quality

Users experience incomplete, late or inconsistent data as product failure, regardless of where the defect originated.

  • Tie checks to product decisions
  • Clarify ownership and lineage
  • Prioritize issues by operating impact
See the principle in context
