  1. 01Name the decisionAI made execution cheap without making deciding easy. The failure mode moved upstream: shipping the wrong thing, faster.
  2. 02Name the constraintClinical, regulatory, ethical, or a hiring manager's bar. The constraint is the brief — not a backlog of features.
  3. 03Build the smallest loopOne artefact that would change that decision. Specs without a prototype are theatre; prototypes without a decision are toys. Humans stay on the hook.

The same sequence runs through the case studies — see Systems for the architectural patterns it produces.
