Five rules the products actually keep.

The evidence

  1. Private by default

    The default is the least data that still makes the thing work.

  2. Useful without a signal

    Connectivity is a convenience, not a precondition.

  3. Explain the answer

    Every recommendation shows the rule that produced it, and its source.

  4. Don't invent certainty

    If the system does not know, saying so is a feature.

  5. Your data stays useful

    Exports in ordinary formats. Leaving is as supported as arriving.
