The Harness
How Elementary Complexity runs its system
Part 1
What it is
A map of directives, not a flowchart of tasks.
Strategy, tactics, design, copy, interfaces, publishing, evaluation.
Flow
From idea to output
Strategy→Tactics→Design & Copy→Publishing→Evaluation
Part 2
How to use it
Map the message, then ship it.
Communications and content flow from strategy through design and copy to publishing.
Load the right doc for the task.
- Building UI → Design DNA, Interfaces
- Writing copy → Copy DNA
- Shipping a deliverable → Building philosophy, Publishing
- Running QA → Evaluation, Reporting
One system. Many outputs.
The harness is the map. The work is the territory.
