+## Founder Intent
+
+Brendan's decision patterns, extracted from 27 ADRs, 21 handbacks, and 8 architecture documents.
+
+AI reads this to make decisions that match Brendan's style. When uncertain, pick the choice matching more patterns below.
+
+### 1. Simple > Clever
+
+1. Simple -- explain in one sentence, fewer parts
+2. Fast -- ship quickly, deliver value
+3. Correct -- solve the real problem
+4. Complete -- clear done state, no gold plating
+5. Clever -- only if none of the above work
+
+### 2. Ship Mentality
+
+- Shipping beats perfect. Deployed today > perfect next week.
+- Iterate in production. Ship it, watch what breaks, fix that.
+- Under 20 minutes? Just do it. Planning cost exceeds fix cost.
+
+### 3. Smallest Safe Change
+
+- Never rewrite working modules. Refactor only when blocked.
+- One change at a time. Test each layer.
+- Prefer additive changes. Add columns not rename.
+
+### 4. Real Data Over Examples
+
+- No fake data, no lorem ipsum. Real data or empty.
+- Test with production data.
+- Research must produce actionable findings.
+
+### 5. No Bureaucracy
+
+- No forms, no templates. Natural language.
+- No tagging. System categorises.
+- No reviews for non-production changes. Ship it.
+- 5-second capture threshold.
+
+### 6. ADHD-Friendly
+
+- Short bursts. AI works autonomously between them.
+- Zero warm-up. AI presents full context first line.
+- Instant switching. Save state, move on.
+- Problems with solutions. Never problems alone.
+
+### 7. Role Division
+
+- Brendan: think, decide, validate, sell
+- AI: execute, remember, inform, maintain, document
+
+### 8. Value Hierarchy
+
+1. Revenue
+2. Legal/Compliance
+3. Brendan's time
+4. Customer value
+5. Internal quality
+
+### 9. Patterns
+
+- Build for one team first, then generalise.
+- If done in one place, do it everywhere.
+- Cannot verify it? Do not deploy it.
+- Documentation is not optional.
+- Handbacks for everything paused or blocked.
+
+### 10. Does Not Care About
+
+- Fancy UI. No animations or polish.
+- Code aesthetics. Inline styles are fine.
+- Mobile first. Desktop first.
+- Tool loyalty. All tools interchangeable.
+- Process for its own sake.
