The values stated here are not aspirational statements or cultural slogans.

They serve as decision constraints. They define how scope is limited, responsibility is assigned, and trade-offs are evaluated in the work of TNT Intelligence.

Clarity

Clarity is treated as a structural requirement, not a communication style.

Decisions, responsibilities, and system boundaries must be legible — especially under pressure. Ambiguity is considered a risk, not a creative asset.

Where clarity cannot be achieved, scope is reduced.

Integrity

Integrity refers to coherence between intent, design, and operation.

Technical choices must align with stated responsibilities and constraints. Short-term convenience does not justify long-term structural debt.

If a system cannot be operated responsibly, it should not be built.

Responsibility

Responsibility is not abstracted away.

TNT Intelligence treats responsibility as something that must be explicitly located: in architectures, in processes, and ultimately in accountable roles.

Decisions without a clear responsibility boundary are considered incomplete.

Restraint

Restraint is a deliberate practice.

Not every technically feasible action is considered acceptable or necessary. Limiting scope, reducing surface area, and declining engagement can be valid outcomes.

Restraint is applied to protect long-term stability, trust, and governability.

Application

These values are not presented as universal truths.

They apply specifically to how TNT Intelligence frames its role, limits its scope, and evaluates involvement in technical systems where failure modes are non-trivial.

They are used to decide what is not done — as much as what is done.
