Benefits

Open-source by default: plans, issues, and design discussions are public whenever feasible, except for unresolved security issues
Closer partnership with Engineering: PMs sit in design/PR reviews, actively contribute, and iterate in thin, testable slices

Ecosystem-driven: we collaborate with a community of builders, Hedera Governing Council, partners, and customers to make pragmatic choices
