Over years of experience we have learned that having an explicit code of conduct and community guidelines allow us to offer clarity when connecting with new members and potential collaborators
At our core, we believe that collaboration, clarity, and good intent are the foundations of any successful project or community. Whether you’re engaging with our team, participating in the forum, or working on joint initiatives, these principles guide how we interact and make decisions
1. Assume Good Intent
We approach every interaction believing that people are doing their best with the information they have. Misunderstandings happen, but assuming positive intent allows us to focus on solutions rather than blame
2. Say “Yes, And”
Inspired by improvisation and collaborative design, our approach encourages:
Acknowledging ideas
Adding constructively
Building forward instead of shutting down discussion
This mindset helps us move faster, create better outcomes, and cultivate trust and creativity in teams and communities
3. Collaborate with Good People
We prioritize working with individuals and organizations who share our values of transparency, accountability, and curiosity. Surrounding yourself with people who care about outcomes, not ego, makes collaboration more productive and enjoyable
4. Focus on Solutions, Not Conflicts
We recognize that communication gaps, misaligned expectations, or small misunderstandings can escalate. Our philosophy is simple:
Communicate clearly
Clarify assumptions
Seek practical solutions immediately
Avoid unnecessary conflict caused by miscommunication
By doing so, we keep projects and communities moving forward efficiently while respecting all participants
5. Continuous Learning and Reflection
Every project, event, or collaboration is an opportunity to learn and improve. We encourage feedback, documentation, and reflection to strengthen both our processes and our relationships
Why This Matters
Adhering to these principles helps us maintain a healthy, high-functioning ecosystem where people can collaborate openly, innovate freely, and focus on results. Whether in our technical consulting, community building, or event production, these values offer a north star we can chase
