Keep the thinking honest
Be clear about the source
Personal reflections are not universal evidence. Illustrative situations are labeled. A working method is something to adapt and test, not a promised result.
Protect the context
Examples must protect private customer, employer and colleague information. A pattern can be described without exposing someone else’s situation.
Make room for disagreement
A counterexample can reveal where an idea falls short or where different conditions change the result.
Let the work evolve
Questions can stay open. A useful addition might change an entry or open a different line of inquiry.
Editorial responsibility
Writing remains draft until John Johnson approves it. Sources and external references are identified separately from original writing. Substantive revisions carry a date and a note describing what changed.
AI may assist research, drafting, or editing. It is not treated as a source of evidence or a substitute for author review.
Other people’s contributions
Permission is required before another person’s contribution is published or attributed.
