Primes

• Additive Bias
  • Zero-based budgeting and scheduling require justifying every existing resource rather than treating it as baseline, transferring the "default-off" logic across organizations.

    This sourceEstablishes zero-based budgeting — justifying every existing resource rather than treating it as baseline — the 'default-off' logic.

• Scope Creep
  • the "anchor to original baseline" move is counterfactual reasoning applied to one's own decision history; and the "periodic re-charter" move is the scheduled zero-base audit common to all three.

    This sourceIntroduces zero-base budgeting — periodically rebuilding the budget from scratch rather than from the prior baseline — the scheduled re-charter / re-anchor move against accumulated drift.

Mechanisms

• Mission Alignment Review
  • The guarding discipline is to borrow the stance of zero-based budgeting

    This sourcePresents zero-base budgeting as re-evaluating expenses and priorities from a zero base instead of carrying forward prior allocations.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
