# System Values

### Trust

There is no such thing as 99% trust. Absence of trust, prevents greatness.&#x20;

We use the following principles to afford a trust-filled environment :\
\
**Consistency:** We strive for principle (not opinion) based decision making. \
**Reciprocity:** A transparent correlation between performance and reward.

If performance and reward do not share a direct correlation and/or need an opinion based evaluation, then it isn’t performance that is served.

###

### Care

'Do what is right, even when you don't have to.'&#x20;

The individual within each of us is beautiful, but sometimes the violence around, drowns it. We commit to batting for the individual, whenever afforded.

Expect to be treated as a self-responsible adult, even in times when you choose not to behave like one.&#x20;

We care to empower, not indulge.

###

### Growth

Survival is not the default, extinction is. Moving forward is what creates progress. We commit to affording personal growth.\
\
Thinking != Learning

Thinking + Doing = (Possible) Learning

We offer a high-paced journey that will keep you on your toes.

###

### Audacious Grit

Audacity in vision. Sincerity in execution.\
\
There is no substitute for hard work. And there is no substitute for dreaming big. Life can be starkly different 6 months from now, that what it is today. Let's make it large.

### Meritocracy

Not democracy.
