Core Values
These values guide the creation, stewardship, and evolution of the RAISE Manifesto and its site:
Simplicity
Strive for clarity and ease in both design and communication. Complexity is only added when it serves genuine purpose.
Transparency
Make decisions, processes, and changes visible and understandable to all. Openness builds trust and invites collaboration.
Humility
Recognize that no methodology or artifact is perfect. Remain open to feedback, revision, and learning from others at every stage.
Bravery
Have the courage to question assumptions, invite critique, and pursue bold ideas—even when they challenge the status quo.
Accessibility
Designed and developed to meet high accessibility standards, aiming for compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, and aspiring to Level AAA where feasible. Ensuring a "world-class" experience for screen reader users is a primary objective.
