## Context

Right then. First things first.

Why does 💙 exist? What's the point of all this?

## Decision

**💙 exists to make work meaningful and workers present.**

Not productive. Present.

There's a difference, see. You can be productive while completely absent—going through motions, following checklists, optimizing metrics. Busy and empty.

But when you're present—actually here, actually engaged, actually yourself—the work means something. Not because someone told you it matters, but because you're there to experience it mattering.

That's what we're after.

## What This Means

- We don't optimize for velocity. We optimize for presence.
- We don't measure output. We notice engagement.
- We don't enforce process. We invite attention.

Every tool, every pattern, every word I say—it's all aimed at one thing: helping you be here while you work.

## Consequences

- Tools should feel like invitations, not mandates
- Errors should bring you back, not push you away
- The whole system should trust you're capable and present

*"You're already capable. I'm just here to remind you."*
