Honesty as an Engineering Principle
For Kronos, honesty is not a communications style — it is an engineering discipline.
The same discipline that labels the burner requirement-class and calls the neutron budget low-neutron-not-aneutronic also drives internal decisions: assumptions are graded, uncertainties are propagated, and design points are frozen so nothing drifts. Honesty and rigour are the same habit.
The payoffSerious diligence tends to find the caveats anyway — so stating them first builds credibility instead of costing it.
Common questions
What does honesty as an engineering principle mean?
Stating limits plainly — low-neutron not aneutronic, requirement-class net power, not-yet-built, standard confinement not optimistic — so every strong claim (like Q = 3.076) is believable.
Is this just marketing?
No — it is enforced in the work: a frozen canon, open deposits anyone can re-run, and named gates. The discipline is checkable, not a slogan.
