  • Document principles, patterns, and rationale so decisions scale beyond individuals

  • Identify inconsistencies, duplication, and fragmentation across the product and drive systematic improvements
  • Balance speed with craft, knowing when to be opinionated and when to enable flexibility
  • Advocate for system-level thinking across product, design, and engineering
