Principles Testing
Principles look great, but do they hold up? Principles Testing applies your draft principles to real decisions to see if they're useful. This exercise takes about an hour and works best right after you write your principles. Expect lively debate when principles clash. That's a good sign. You'll quickly see which principles need work.
