Method
The method, written down before the work starts.
In place of claims we cannot back, here is how the work is approached and what we consider good enough to hand over.
Listen and scope
Who uses it, what they must achieve, what exists already, what is fixed and what can move.
Agree in writing
A short written scope: what is included, what is not, and the open questions.
Make in small pieces
Work is shown early and often, so wrong turns are cheap to correct.
Check against the criteria
The table on this page, applied honestly, with gaps reported rather than hidden.
Release and look after
Help with launch, then support arrangements agreed separately.
Honest quality criteria
| Criterion | What we check |
|---|---|
| Usable | Main tasks can be completed without help, by keyboard and on a small screen. |
| Readable | Plain language, sensible contrast, text that survives zooming. |
| Truthful | Nothing claims success that has not happened; failures are visible. |
| Maintainable | Someone other than the author can understand and change it. |
| Proportionate | No more complexity than the job needs. |
