The kind of rules we build in.
Every business has them. Most live in one person’s head.
- “Anything needed inside two weeks carries a 12% rush charge.”
- “No new customer over £10,000 without a credit check.”
- “Weld inspection signed before anything ships.”
- “Price stainless from this week’s cost, never last month’s.”
