UX ethics.

Sprout exists inside companies that estimators, site managers and installers depend on to do honest work. The system carries the same responsibility — eight commitments we check every release against.

The Sprout pact

We back the people who build things. Software that respects their time, their data and their judgement — and never tries to be cleverer than they are.

Eight commitments

Defaults predict the right answer, never the answer that benefits Aceve at the user's expense. No pre-checked upsells, no opted-in mailing lists, no quiet auto-renewals.

Code smell. If a checkbox is pre-ticked, it must be the option the user already had.

Review checklist

Use this on every PR that ships a user-visible change.

No pre-checked opt-ins.Every destructive action has an undo, grace period, or typed confirm.Keyboard parity for every action.WCAG AA contrast on every new colour pairing.Errors tell the user what to do next.All copy localised — no English fallback in production.Dates use the user's locale.AI output cites sources or marks itself as a guess.AI-generated content carries a visible disclosure label.Every consequential AI action has a receipt, a confirm step and an undo.
