Design systems that surface errors early when they are easiest and cheapest to correct.
When the same error happens repeatedly fix the root cause not just the symptom.
Reviewing what happened after completing a task surfaces errors for future correction.
Design your systems to fail partially rather than completely.
For every important process have a documented way to recover from common failures.
Focusing on who caused an error prevents understanding why it happened.
Recurring errors point to structural problems not personal failures.
Every correction takes time and energy — reduce the error rate rather than just correcting faster.

The best systems detect and correct their own errors without manual intervention.
