Operating principle
Think in decades.
We favour decisions that strengthen the institution over those that flatter the quarter.
What we mean
A long horizon changes what we build, whom we work with and how we judge progress. It does not excuse slow work. It asks whether today's decision improves the company's ability to perform through several cycles.
In practice
01Set plans beyond the next funding event
02Invest in systems before they become urgent
03Protect trust when a shortcut would be cheaper
