Build deliberate friction into verification procedures…
Build deliberate friction into verification procedures to prevent them from degrading into automatic, unthinking rituals.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without awareness) and The nervous system habituates to repeated, predictable… (habituation withdraws attention). It prescribes how to maintain checklist effectiveness over time: introduce variable order, physical actions, or verbal callouts that resist automation of the verification itself.
