§16.7 · DP1 .. DP7
Seven non-negotiable design principles
The §16.7 design principles cannot be relaxed regardless of operational pressure. Each principle declares the failure mode it prevents and the operationalization mechanisms the platform uses to enforce it. Parity-cap currently set to 40% of total roadmap capacity (DP2).
DP1_NO_FRAGMENTATION
No-fragmentationPrevent the platform from fragmenting into disconnected products to chase vertical opportunities.
Operationalization: catalog_evolution_program_governance · platform_coherence_review · platform_spine_adherence_measurement · executive_roadmap_council_quarterly_review
DP2_PARITY_CAP
Parity-cap (40%)Parity work cannot exceed 40% of total roadmap capacity for sustained periods.
Operationalization: roadmap_governance_constitution_hard_gate · item_classification_discipline · retrospective_capacity_measurement · executive_council_quarterly_creep_check
DP3_VISIONARY_MARKETING_RESTRAINT
Visionary marketing restraintVisionary features cannot be marketed before core journey excellence is established.
Operationalization: launch_governance_core_journey_quality_gate · launch_review_includes_core_journey_assessment · executive_review_blocks_premature_visionary_launches
DP4_SOVEREIGNTY_POSITIONING
Sovereignty positioning (control + continuity + flexibility + strategic independence)Sovereignty is positioned as control, continuity, flexibility, and strategic independence rather than as compliance alone.
Operationalization: marketing_message_governance_review · sales_enablement_training · analyst_briefing_content_strategic_independence_emphasis · category_definition_charter_sovereignty_attribute_binding
DP5_ECONOMIC_TRANSPARENCY
Economic transparencyPlatform economics are exposed clearly rather than buried.
Operationalization: published_pricing_no_contact_sales_concealment · tco_calculator_transparent_methodology · benchmark_portfolio_cost_benchmark · commercial_engagement_explicit_economic_articulation
DP6_OPERATIONAL_GLOBALIZATION
Operational globalization (not cosmetic)Global expansion is operationally real rather than cosmetic.
Operationalization: market_activation_framework_eleven_dimensions · activation_certification · activation_maintenance_against_degradation
DP7_MEMORY_CONTINUITY
Memory and continuity as safe + controlled + explainable + valuableMemory and continuity are treated as safe, controlled, explainable, and valuable rather than as gimmicks.
Operationalization: memory_continuity_controls_release_phase_3 · memory_governance_applied_ai_ownership · memory_marketing_emphasizes_safety_control_explainability · customer_feedback_integration
