Standards

Standards you can use without meeting anyone.

PQK publishes standards so critique does not depend on private taste. The same questions should be askable by a mentor, a teacher, a family member, or the team alone.

A public standard is a folder rule

This page is for anyone who will audit the work. The standard is that a trail from field friction to a question a peer could inspect can be reconstructed without a speech. Narrow field friction into an inquiry question.

What must stay visible

Keep four-column friction log, researchable question, dated evidence, revised model. Keep the miss. Label generated text. Name who still owns the claim.

What the standard refuses

The standard refuses unlabeled generation, deleted misses, and certificates with no folder.
