That's why you have three different, independent parties design everything important thrice, and compare the results. I'm serious. If you're not convinced this is necessary, just take a look at https://ghostwriteattack.com/riscvuzz.pdf.

(Your other suggestions are also necessary, and I don't think that would be sufficient.)

I think that's a great idea, and when I've been in a leadership role I've at least tried to have important things done at least twice. ;)

And you're right, I was pretty much just outlining what might be called "a good start".
