• Sequential vs parallel revisions — Parallel for independent research; sequential for refinement revisions with dependencies
• Lau Pa Sat is self-marking — Rich’s scenarios are stress-tests not independent evidence; don’t narrow paradigm evaluation
• Sourcemeta loyalty bias — Treat as current-decade tooling partner not architectural axis
• Premature option-siloing — When Rich introduces a topic, don’t silo as preferred; keep option tree wide
• Recency vs maturity (book recs) — In stock + enough reviews; sweet spot 2024-early 2025; never forthcoming/MEAP
• Wait for grounding material — Don’t produce methodology from training-data priors when authoritative books arriving
• Scope vs commercial reality — Bootstrap capacity + £5m+ TT-sale = architectural constraints
• No current-stack bias for INHERIT v2 — Vercel/Supabase NOT a constraint; evaluate tech on merit
