Patterns
| Pattern | What it means | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Champion/challenger | Compare a candidate with the current best artifact. | Keeps improvement grounded. |
| Specialist population | Maintain narrow high-value models. | Reduces waste and improves fit. |
| Local-first inference | Run capable tasks on controlled hardware. | Preserves private work and reduces latency. |
| Evidence packet | Bundle scorecard, lineage, and release notes. | Makes adoption explainable. |
| Lineage DAG | Parent-child graph for artifacts. | Turns experiments into memory. |
| Resource ledger | Tracks latency, memory, energy, and cost. | Keeps the ecology frugal. |
| Human review loop | Names where people shape outcomes. | Converts expertise into durable capability. |
| No-op decision | Keep current state when change does not add value. | Preserves quality and focus. |
| Reversible release | Use shadow, canary, limited release, and rollback. | Encourages experimentation with evidence. |
| Mutualist score | Measure whether the ecology strengthens people. | Keeps benefits at the center. |
