summary
A five‑pillar ethics model called S.M.A.R.T. spells out concrete rules: Symmetry (deadlines are a joint problem — 150,000‑word localization squeezed into 2.5 months across 18 reedited batches), Anticipation (voiceover for a half‑million‑word title created last minute with only five days of testing for a 60‑hour game), clear LQA sequencing (text → pre‑LQA → recording → pickups), tolerance metrics (12 faulty lines of 3,000 is 0.3% vs expected ~3–5%), and walk‑away conditions for abusive or unprofitable partners.
