ALCOA+ isn't a poster on the wall. We break it into actions the bench can actually perform every day.

- Legible: no silent overwrites; edits leave a trail
- Contemporaneous: instrument capture over manual transcription
When principles become default actions, compliance stops depending on individual willpower.
