    Push data contracts upstream so APIs don’t drift. Quick checklist that saved us time. Start with a pilot and a single success metric.

    Rotate credentials on a calendar, not only after incidents. Biggest risk is invisible complexity creeping in. Keep the system operable by the smallest competent team.
