TEMPERAMENT
Build few. Own them. Hold them for years.
Why a small, owned body of work is built to outlast the bets around it.
Held, not flipped
Spread across distinct kinds of work, no single failure is fatal, and any single success carries well past what it cost to make.
Stated as a belief and tested in the open. The work already in hand is the first evidence of it.
Accountable in years
Building to keep means carrying full responsibility for what ships, and staying accountable in years, not quarters.
That long horizon is what turns a working product and the people it serves into something that actually compounds.
