Approach

How the work gets done

Start with the decision

Every model and report begins with the question someone has to answer, not with the data that happens to be available.

Build for the plant floor

Tools are designed with the people who run operations, so they get used on Monday morning, not admired once in a demo.

Leave it ownable

Clear architecture, documentation and handover, so your own team can run and extend what gets built.
