How Stillwater Moves
Let the dark water carry depth
Teams keep the surface calm by moving debate into named notes before review.

Standing rituals stay small: fifteen minutes, four questions, no new ceremony.
Keep Hi bright, Sumi exact
Important decisions are written in plain contrast: what changes, what remains.
