Who the work is for, what people actually do rather than what they say, which need is going unmet, and how any of it gets checked without fooling ourselves. Includes what to do with a report from everyday use when there is no log, no number, and no way to reproduce it.

How to work with an idea that arrives from outside the team, carrying enthusiasm and no reasoning, and how to tell a proposal that survived questions from one that only survived agreement.

Disagreements that are about what is valued rather than what is true: how to separate the part evidence can still settle from the part it cannot, and where a vote legitimises a position instead of inventing a fact.

Why a question keeps coming back when the answer already exists, and what separates a problem with the explanation from a problem with the thing being explained.
