Control vs Trust
Explain why visible checks matter even in small trusted teams.
Plain-language explanation
Control vs Trust is a practical concept page. Use it to align language before writing a workflow, policy, or review record.
How to apply it
- Keep definitions operational rather than academic.
- Tie the term to decisions people actually make.
- Use examples and counterexamples when confusion is likely.
Expected output
A plain-language reference note that helps users choose the right workflow, policy, or template.
Common failure mode
Keeping the document as a form instead of using it to make decisions visible.
Use notes
| Use with | Link this note from workflows and policies where the term affects decisions. |
|---|---|
| Avoid | Do not turn definitions into rules unless a policy page owns the requirement. |
| Review point | Revise when repeated questions show the explanation is still ambiguous. |
