Place pre-flight checks at the prep/execution boundary…
Position pre-flight checks at the boundary between preparation and execution—after work is ready but before it begins—to catch errors when correction cost is minimal and propagation has not started.
Add verification checkpoints at every coupling point where…
Insert independent verification checkpoints at every coupling point where one process automatically consumes another's output without review to interrupt error cascade chains before they amplify.
When correction exceeds 20% of weekly capacity, shift…
When error correction consumes more than 20% of weekly capacity in a domain, shift resources from faster correction to upstream prevention mechanisms that reduce error generation rate.
Find the leading indicator that appears days before…
For recurring errors, identify the leading indicator that appears days or weeks before full manifestation, not hours, because late signals provide insufficient time for corrective action to prevent the error.
Mandatory quality pause between "I think this is done"…
Position quality verification between 'I think this is done' and delivery as a mandatory pause point with an explicit checklist, not as optional review when time permits.
