Two rules that survived the technology
Named in 2026.
Rule 1
Document first, then pitch.
Make the assumptions visible before they become commitments.
Rule 2
If it doesn’t have an API, build one.
When systems don’t connect, build the bridge.
The evidence behind both runs through the Clifftop, AppFusions and AlohaCloud records.
