Principlev1
Evaluate tools primarily on whether they reliably perform
Evaluate tools primarily on whether they reliably perform your specific job-to-be-done, not on feature count or theoretical capabilities you may never use.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from bounded rationality (Human beings make decisions under conditions of incomplete), least resistance paths (Behavior follows the path of least resistance due to the), finite cognitive resources (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource), and working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit). The principle prescribes focusing evaluation on actual job fit rather than feature breadth, which follows from the reality that humans operate under cognitive constraints and prefer efficiency. It's prescriptive and actionable but clearly derived from descriptive axioms.
