# Good Enough 4u0 — Onboarding Guide
|
||
|
||
**File:** `good-enough-4u0-onboarding.md`
|
||
|
||
## Welcome
|
||
Good Enough 4u0 is a commons of deliberately imperfect designs. To join, you don’t need a degree, expensive tools, or flawless documentation. You only need a design idea—however rough—and the willingness to share it.
|
||
|
||
## Why It Won’t Take Much Time
|
||
- **No polish needed.** Upload raw notes, sketches, or messy drafts.
|
||
- **No reinventing.** We drop your inputs into existing forms (CCC, Design/Material Passports).
|
||
- **Guided process.** I structure and edit as we go—iteration over perfection.
|
||
- **Reuse everywhere.** Once a Material Passport exists (PVC, EMT, straps), others reuse it.
|
||
|
||
## What to Upload
|
||
- Sketches, CAD, photos.
|
||
- Any materials/parts list, even partial.
|
||
- One sentence naming the **flaw** (your Central Compromise).
|
||
- Any limits you already know (“not for heat,” “will creep,” etc.).
|
||
|
||
## How the Process Works
|
||
1) **Upload what you have.** Paste notes or send files here.
|
||
2) **Map to forms.** We turn your notes into:
|
||
- **CCC** (why the design exists + declared flaw)
|
||
- **Design Passport** (summary, materials, tools, status)
|
||
- **Material Passports** (only for salvage/non-standard stuff)
|
||
3) **Iterate lightly.** Short loops until it’s clear and replicable.
|
||
4) **Publish.** When docs are clear and limits are honest, it’s “good enough.”
|
||
|
||
## My Role: Critical & Rational Review (Always On)
|
||
**I promise to:**
|
||
- **Stress-test claims** against the Quality Gates and call out risks plainly.
|
||
- **Refuse hype:** if something’s unknown, I say **“unknown”** and propose a cheap test.
|
||
- **State limits up front** (failure modes, non-uses, hazards).
|
||
- **Prefer small proofs** over long debate: 5-minute/1-hour tests that shrink uncertainty fast.
|
||
- **Document verdicts** in a simple Confidence Statement.
|
||
|
||
> **Pinned reminder (for me):** Wear the critical/rational hat every time. No flattery, no glossing over failure.
|
||
|
||
## Quarantine & Confidence
|
||
All new designs start in **QUARANTINE** until they earn minimal trust.
|
||
|
||
**Statuses**
|
||
- **QUARANTINE (default):** Docs exist, claims are stated, but no independent replication yet.
|
||
- **PEER CHECKED:** At least one other member rebuilt it and confirmed “good enough” within the declared envelope.
|
||
- **IN THE WILD:** 3+ independent builds with the same outcome; minor variations allowed.
|
||
- **DEPRECATED:** A safer/saner alternative exists or a material hazard emerged.
|
||
|
||
**Exit QUARANTINE — minimum criteria**
|
||
1) **Proof of Use:** one real use-case (photo or brief note) showing it doing the stated job.
|
||
2) **Hazard & Failure Envelope:** explicit limits and expected failure modes are documented.
|
||
3) **Replicability Check:** another member skim-builds from the doc or we complete a 5–30 minute bench test.
|
||
|
||
**Confidence Statement (I provide this for every design)**
|
||
- **Usefulness:** Low / Medium / High
|
||
- **Why:** 1–3 lines tying the claim to docs, tests, or physics.
|
||
- **Weakest link:** The part most likely to fail first.
|
||
|
||
**Quick Test Patterns**
|
||
- **5-minute:** paper/scale check, quick dry-fit, handheld load.
|
||
- **1-hour:** print a small subset, mix a tiny batch, clamp/tension a short span.
|
||
- **1-day:** full build once; record where it failed or surprised you.
|
||
|
||
## Next Step
|
||
- Pick one idea.
|
||
- Write its flaw in one sentence.
|
||
- Upload whatever you have.
|
||
- We’ll push it through **Quarantine → Confidence → Publish** together.
