The Charter

My Chakchouka operates within defined limits.
These limits are enforced as conditions of operation.
 
We do not extract value from the people or places that produce the objects we distribute.
We do not detach authorship from origin.
We do not accelerate production at the expense of continuity.
We do not trade stability for visibility.
We do not negotiate price, time, or standards under pressure.
 
We operate with fixed rules.
We price to sustain systems, not to capture attention.
We organize work to remain repeatable, not heroic.
We design for long horizons, not short performance cycles.
 
We accept constraint as a requirement.
We accept refusal as part of integrity.
We accept slowness when it preserves function.
 
Participation in this system is conditional.
Alignment is required.
Compliance is structural.
Exit is always possible.
 
This charter governs decisions when procedures are insufficient.
It remains in effect without revision until it no longer holds.
