I actively inspect the standards I claim to hold rather than merely expecting them.

I know which of my expectations are enforced and which are just wishes.

The standards I talk about match the standards I check.

I follow up on my expectations with verification, not hope.

I understand that my attention signals what actually matters.

I address the first violation of a standard rather than letting a new baseline form.

What I tolerate matches what I profess.

I inspect consistently, not just after something goes wrong.

My team can predict what I will check because I check it reliably.

I audit the gap between our stated values and our actual behavior.
