Transparency
Transparency ensures that the Factory’s operations are visible, auditable, and understandable to authorized observers.
It is the principle that every action, decision, and outcome is recorded and accessible for review.
Transparency is not optional.
It is the Factory’s guarantee of trustworthiness.
