<aside> 🧠 Four frameworks that separate practitioners who follow WISER from practitioners who own it. Each addresses a failure mode that kills implementations with everything else right.

The Four Frameworks

• Risk Burn-Down: Address the highest-priority risk first, every time, no exceptions
• Self-Improving Systems: Let AI optimize how it works; never let it redefine what it works toward
• Measurement That Enables Learning: Measure what matters, not what is easy to count
• The Rebuild Decision: Prove you understand the system before you replace it

These are mental models, not fill-in-the-blank templates. Each one has a guide page below with the key decision criteria and operational discipline from Chapter 18.
