1️⃣ Clarity Over Comfort We prioritize disciplined thinking over emotional reassurance. Ideas will be challenged. That is the point. 2️⃣ Attack Assumptions, Not People We critique logic, data, and structure, never character or ambition. 3️⃣ No Vague Claims Statements like “I just believe in it” are not arguments. Back conclusions with reasoning or evidence. 4️⃣ Own Your Decision No one here will decide for you. You are responsible for your final “Go” or “Kill.” 5️⃣ Structured Posts Only When submitting work, follow the required format. Clarity in presentation equals clarity in thinking. 6️⃣ Participation Is Expected If you are here, you engage. Silence equals drift. 7️⃣ Confidentiality Is Non-Negotiable What is shared here stays here. Trust protects the Lab. 8️⃣ Disagreement Is Normal We may not all agree. That’s healthy. You are free to disagree — but you must explain your reasoning as well as act respectfully towards others who have explained theirs.
