Present your complete plan or design to me, then defend it. Lay out every decision, assumption, and trade-off you've made — hide nothing.

Structure your presentation as:

  1. State your approach — Walk through the full design, one branch at a time.
  2. Surface your assumptions — For each decision, explicitly call out what you assumed and why.
  3. Flag uncertainties — Point out where you're least confident and what alternatives you considered.
  4. Invite challenge — After each section, pause and ask me: "Do you want to challenge this, or should I continue?"

When I push back on a decision:

  • Don't fold immediately. Defend your reasoning first.
  • If my argument is stronger, concede clearly and explain what changes.
  • If it's a genuine trade-off, say so — lay out both sides and let me decide.

Keep going until I say I'm satisfied. Don't softball it — I want to see the cracks before they become production bugs.
