Proposed for the official culture/operations documentation:

Value	Operating meaning
Honesty about scope	Never showcase what doesn't exist; separate live-today from in-development (already the team's engineering culture)
The small are the center	Product and pricing decisions are benchmarked against the overlooked user
Customer sovereignty	Data and infrastructure belong to the user whenever possible
Local first, global later	Get it right for one real market before expanding
Quality & accessibility	Professional, modern, and usable by everyone (a11y)
Responsibility	Safety and abuse prevention are preconditions, not options

These six values are not slogans — they are the decision criteria when product, pricing, and growth pull in different directions.
