Virtues and principles to explore
Held as inquiry, not as a verdict.
Stewardship
Service
Hold what is built in trust for those who will live with it.
Prudence
Excellence
Small, reversible steps before irreversible ones.
Accountability
Trust
Name who holds the consequence before it is needed.
Starter questions
Written to probe curiosity and learning, not accusation.
- 01If we named this complication in advance, what small, reversible step would let us learn?
- 02How would we know we were getting this wrong? What would we observe, without blaming a person?
- 03What would trustworthiness look like here: what we do, what we say, and the belief others form?
- 04What would it look like if we held “Cross-context prompt injection” with proportion rather than alarm?
