The problem

AI ethics guidance tends to be written for institutions and read by nobody who is actually shipping. The people making daily implementation decisions get abstractions.

Why it mattered

Most real ethical outcomes are decided by ordinary implementation choices, not by policy documents.

What I built

A practitioner-facing guide framing ethical questions as decisions a builder actually faces during implementation.

What I learned

Guidance only changes behaviour when it reaches the moment of decision. Principles that never touch an implementation choice are decoration.
