Engineering, not policing

Counting bugs tells you about yesterday. We instrument the system that produces them, so the number goes down for structural reasons.

What the practice does

Where risk actually sits, what evidence each release needs, and which checks you can delete.

Automated thresholds that block on measured risk, with an explicit, logged override path.

Coaching engineers to own quality, so the function stops being a department people route around.
