+# Our Principles
+
+**We build great things together—fast, smart, and with full ownership.**
+
+## The 6 Rules We Live By
+
+1. **Start with the Goal**  
+   Keep the big picture. Break it into clear problems. Solve one at a time.
+
+1. **Own It Like a Founder**  
+   No one assigns tasks. You spot problems, claim them, and deliver results.
+
+1. **Ship Daily, Small & Often**  
+   No task >4 hours. Finish, push, move on. Momentum beats perfection.
+
+1. **Respect Time—Yours & Others**  
+   One team sync/week. Work async. No meetings unless needed.
+
+1. **Wear Many Hats**  
+   Code, design, test, write, explore. We grow by doing.
+
+1. **Figure It Out**  
+   Research. Read. Ask. Learn fast. No waiting for instructions.

+## Do This | Not That
+
+| ✅ **Do**                 | ❌ **Don’t**            |
+| ------------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| Solve what moves the goal | Work on low-value tasks |
+| Own it end-to-end         | Pass the buck           |
+| Test your work            | Expect others to QA     |
+| Leave clear updates       | Vanish without trace    |

+## ⏰ Core Hours

+**2–6 PM HKT** — Be online. Rest is flexible.

+
+**Be bold. Be fast. Be kind.**
