Good Enough 4u0 — Certificate of Central Compromise (CCC)

File: good-enough-4u0-certificate-central-compromise.md

Purpose

Every design must center on one intentional compromise: the good-enough flaw that makes the design belong in Good Enough 4u0. The CCC documents that compromise, why it was chosen, and how it defines the project.

CCC Template

1. Design Name

• Clear title of the design.

2. Central Compromise

• The specific defect or substitution at the core of this design.

3. Purpose of Compromise

• Why this compromise was chosen (cost, availability, simplicity, etc.).

4. Good-Enough Justification

• Why the compromise is acceptable within an explicit use envelope.

5. Replicability Proof

• Anchor COTS that ensure the design can be reproduced.

6. Substitution Map (Optional)

• Alternate materials if builders want to adapt.

7. Failure Envelope

• Where the compromise fails; how failure appears (prefer visible failure).

8. Statement of Intent

• One-sentence declaration of why the design belongs in Good Enough 4u0.
