This page uses the sidebar template: a content column with a secondary column beside it, useful for documentation and long reads.
One: agree what finished means
Before anything is designed we write down what the project has to achieve and how we will know it did. One page, no jargon, signed off by everyone who has an opinion.
Two: rough, then right
Early work is deliberately unpolished so the conversation stays about the idea. Polish arrives once the direction is settled, never before.
Three: hand over properly
Source files, a written system, and a walkthrough recorded for whoever joins the team next year.
