The Method

The concepts, stated once and defined by what a machine can check. The papers (base, derivatives, Compendium) carry the arguments; these pages carry the working definitions.

Page What it answers
The rubric Seven properties that make a project derivable, and the failure named for each
Spec completeness When is a specification complete enough for a stateless reader
Quality gates The non-LLM checks that make the discipline enforceable
The evidence What the experiments established, with the bounds on each claim
The course GS Core: theory intercut with five hands-on labs
The Andon Method A proposed method built on the same thesis: the machine builds, a gate stops the line, the human judges. Team process not yet defined
Twelve working principles How a practitioner works under the method, in twelve lines; two carry evidence caveats
Lifecycle and debt Three definitions: no new debt per change, criteria coverage, and what the method covers across the lifecycle (with what is not yet covered)

Looking for the practice (how to do it on a real project)? See the workflow recipes.
