01 / The manifesto

The right tools.
The right people.

Solving a problem is rarely just about knowing the answer. It is knowing what to examine, which tools to try, where to look next, and who already understands the terrain.

A useful lead can come from a manual, a forum, a local expert, an old friend, or an experiment that did not go to plan. The trick is knowing how to connect the pieces.
