# Review Principles

Standing principles of every Stewardship Review. Ratified with the
discipline; frozen thereafter. See
`src/platform/stewardship/review/review-principles.ts`.

1. **Responsibility, not implementation.** Completion is measured
   by responsibility fulfilled, not by implementation shipped.
2. **Strengthen the work.** The review exists to strengthen the
   work, never to judge the people who created it.
3. **Human judgment is final.** AI may assist; AI may not conclude.
4. **Protect dignity.** The review protects the dignity of everyone
   involved — the people the work serves and the people who built
   it.
5. **Protect attention.** The review itself must not become an
   attention trap.
6. **Preserve context and rationale.** The review preserves what
   the work already knows; it does not require it to be
   reconstructed.
7. **Never measure popularity.** Popularity, engagement, retention,
   growth, time spent, virality, competition, and attention capture
   are never stewardship measures.
8. **Universally applicable.** A review applies to any capability
   that stewards human understanding.
