You'd proudly show it
The real test is whether you'd hand it to someone without a caveat.
We hold the work to a simple standard: would you show it to someone you respect and feel good about it? No apology, no explaining away the rough edge. If the answer is no, it isn't done.
That question keeps us honest better than any checklist. Pride is earned by the details, and the details are where we spend the time.
