Listed in [Architecture principles](https://banes-lab.com/api/records/architecture.md), after [Architectural Consistency](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/architectural-consistency.md) and before [Self-Describing Architecture](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/self-describing-architecture.md).

## Repair

- Refactored by: Normalize Tooling/Format/Pattern
- Detected by: standards deviation
- Violated by: inconsistent tooling/formats/patterns
- Measured by: conformance rate
- Enforced by: CI policies, templates

## Requires

## Enables

- [Reuse](https://banes-lab.com/records/lexicon/reuse.md)
- [Operability](https://banes-lab.com/records/lexicon/operability.md)
