SPLITFIRE / RULES

The House Rules.

Six constraints that keep the lab useful, honest, accessible, and small on purpose.

01
HOUSE RULE

01 · Feel first.

If you can play it, you shouldn't have to read it. Every concept we teach, you experience before we name it.

02
HOUSE RULE

02 · Honest by design.

No fake timers. No guilt buttons. No countdown that resets. If our business needs a dark pattern to work, we change the business.

03
HOUSE RULE

03 · Accessible by default.

We teach contrast ratios; we pass them. We teach error prevention; we practice it. Audit us — the checklist is public.

04
HOUSE RULE

04 · Built in the open.

Roadmaps, misses, and metrics live in Lab Notes. When we're wrong, that's a post, not a deletion.

05
HOUSE RULE

05 · Your progress is yours.

Finished something? It stays yours. We don't hold your own effort hostage.

06
HOUSE RULE

06 · Small on purpose.

One lab, few products, no growth-at-all-costs. We'd rather be someone's favorite than everyone's option.
