Create structural guarantees for contribution (structured input rounds, anonymous channels) rather than relying on individual courage to speak up, because structures remove interpersonal risk more reliably than exhortations to be brave.

This principle derives from Psychological safety—the perception that interpersonal risks and implements structural approaches to safety. It prescribes removing risk through design rather than expecting individuals to overcome risk through effort. Structured input rounds and anonymous channels are specific implementations.
