How TAB Thinks, in Public

This writing exists to make TAB’s standards, assumptions, and decision logic visible before engagement.

It is not instructional content.
It is not designed to convince.

It is here so readers can recognize alignment — or misalignment — before submitting themselves or a business for evaluation.

Read if it’s useful.
Ignore it if it’s not.
