Principles for AI-amplified work.

These principles keep the work grounded. I use them to decide whether AI is improving the result or moving noise faster.

02RulesUse in practice
01

Execution matters more than novelty.

New tools earn attention when they improve decisions, workflows, outcomes, or learning.

02

Judgment stays human.

AI can help analyze, draft, and accelerate. People remain accountable for what gets used.

03

Review comes before trust.

Good work builds verification into the workflow from the start.

04

Context matters.

AI gets better when the work has durable context, clear constraints, and a visible standard.

05

Compounding matters.

Useful work should leave behind better inputs, clearer decisions, and reusable artifacts.

06

Automate only what is understood.

Automation should follow clarity. Speed should make the work cleaner.

07

The work stays human.

The goal is to protect attention for the work that deserves it.
