In this episode, we move from talking about trust as a value to embedding it as a system. Vishal unpacks how decision logs, blameless post-mortems, and working agreements transform trust into repeatable routines that reduces friction, increases predictability, and accelerates learning. You’ll hear why transparent artefacts signal fairness, how debriefs improve team effectiveness, and why simple, team-owned agreements outperform top-down rules. Together, these practices create a “Trust Operating System”, your shock absorbers under pressure and your reliability amplifier in the long run.
