Stewardship Review is not quality assurance, not product approval, not code review. It is the constitutional discipline used to determine whether a capability genuinely fulfills the responsibilities of stewardship.
Founding principle#
A capability is complete only when it fulfills its stewardship responsibilities. Completion is measured by responsibility, not implementation.
What a review asks#
Does this experience leave people more capable than when they arrived?
The review is a conversation#
Reviews exist to strengthen the work — never to judge the people who created it. A review is collaborative. Reviews themselves must protect attention.
AI relationship#
- AI may prepare evidence.
- AI may organize findings.
- AI may identify missing context.
- AI may never determine whether stewardship has been achieved.
