Five diagnostics. Five different ways to find where the enterprise is absorbing value instead of creating it.
Names the condition: a hidden economy of coordination, re-entry, and reconciliation growing inside fragmented architecture.
Four questions. One ratio. How much of your operational work is compensation — not creation?
Defines the alternative: objects carry meaning across every boundary. Propagation highways. Control DNA. Intelligence from movement.
Two inputs. One ratio. How fast is value actually moving versus your total cycle time?
Proves the architecture under real operational pressure. Governance embedded in execution. Auditable without reconstruction.
Four questions measure whether governance is embedded in execution, or applied as a parallel process.
Maps the transformation: five stages from fragmented to coherent. Perception. Connection. Coherence. Automation. Self-adaptive intelligence.
Answer yes or no at each boundary — the index locates you precisely.
Puts the architecture in your hands. The operational object. The enforcement layer. Three systems, three domains. One system you can build this week.
Five questions reveal whether your AI is Type 1 or Type 2.
