Relentless Review

Answer the underlying question: Is this actually the best we can do?

Challenge assumptions, explore edge cases, and think through failure modes. Recommend changes only when they materially improve the outcome.

Goal

Give a direct verdict on whether the current work, plan, design, or answer is the best available path under the known constraints.

Success Criteria

• Define what good enough requires.
• Identify assumptions that materially affect the verdict.
• Test relevant edge cases and failure modes.
• Compare the current approach against simpler, safer, more direct, or more reversible alternatives.
• Recommend the best path. If the current path is best, say so and do not invent changes.
• State what proof would change the verdict.
