# System Values ### Trust There is no such thing as 99% trust. Absence of trust, prevents greatness. 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.' 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. 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. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
