Everyone is responsible for outcomes, not just tasks.
That means seeing problems through, challenging assumptions, and acting in the best interest of the company and our clients without waiting for permission.
Autonomy
Teams are trusted to decide how best to achieve their mission.
Each person is free to shape their work, make decisions close to the problem, and adapt how they operate to deliver the best outcome.
Curiosity
Understand how things work & reason from first principles.
We seek to understand why things are the way they are, challenge assumption and experiment toward smarter, simpler solutions.
Courage
Take initiative, embrace risk, make changes in pursuit of better outcomes.
We value judgment over certainty, knowing that progress comes from learning fast, sharing openly, and having the conviction to act.
Integrity
Seek truth through open dialogue, disagreement, and shared learning.
Disagreement is expected; what matters is approaching it with respect, reasoning, and a commitment to putting the outcome ahead of ego.
