Principles

Reality is our common reference.

Evidence preserves our current understanding of Reality; it is not Reality itself.

Reality Individuals Discussion Decision Commitment Quality Value + Evidence
Constitutional controls

Specific enough to govern behavior.

01

People create original Value

Individuals closest to work serve as expert witnesses to operational Reality.

02

Authority remains organizational

Every Commitment needs a named accountable individual with proper authority. QBox records; 5 Angles does not confer.

03

Show the Colors & Raise the Flag

Make ownership, status, uncertainty, contradiction, and material risk visible while there is still time to choose.

04

Sufficient confidence to move

The 92.5% principle supports responsible movement while uncertainty remains visible.

Customer sovereignty

The company controls its evidence, knowledge, and choices.

The customer determines scope, authority, credibility, priority, access, and permitted use. 5 Angles supplies the framework, taxonomy, correlation discipline, and recommendations without taking organizational authority.

Quality and Value

Create Value by delivering Quality.

Quality is assessed against the Customer expectation made explicit in the Commitment’s Value Contract. Realized Value requires Customer acceptance.

Reality always keeps its commitments.
