Principle 17: Integrity Over Growth

Integrity over growth. We do not scale faster than our integrity can hold.

Commentary

Explicit refusal to optimize for size. Slow growth is a feature, not a bug — the fellowship grows at the pace its capacity to hold the practice cleanly grows. Naming the priority order (integrity first, growth second) removes the silent default that more is better.

Status notes
