A useful standard
What makes a workflow trustworthy
A workflow is useful when another person can inspect what went in, what happened, what failed, and why the result changed a decision.
Inputs before outputs
Preserve the request, configuration, account state, environment, and relevant versions before interpreting the response.
Failures remain in the record
Keep timeouts, empty results, parser errors, retries, and zero-result runs. Removing them hides how the real system behaves.
Secrets stay out of evidence
Use stable internal labels for credentials and redact tokens, personal data, and licensed content that should not enter a report.
