Kaizen: Continuous Improvement

Overview

Small improvements, continuously. Error-proof by design. Follow what works. Build only what's needed.

Core principle: Many small improvements beat one big change. Prevent errors at design time, not with fixes.

When to Use

Always applied for:

• Code implementation and refactoring
• Architecture and design decisions
• Process and workflow improvements
• Error handling and validation

Philosophy: Quality through incremental progress and prevention, not perfection through massive effort.
