Principlev1

Conduct structured evaluations at time-box endpoints using

Conduct structured evaluations at time-box endpoints using pre-specified criteria and tracked data rather than subjective impressions to make evidence-based continuation decisions.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (hindsight bias requires external calibration), Availability Heuristic Mechanism (availability/fluency bias), and Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild (memory is reconstructive). Structured evaluation with pre-specified criteria protects against the systematic biases these axioms describe.
