Shared Context for Modern Work
Every hour your best people spend reconciling reality with the tools meant to track it is the coordination tax. Two short books from Helsinki: one names the cost, the other imagines the world after it goes to zero. Free to read.
The cost of coordination grows exponentially while the organization grows linearly. It's not a process problem. It's a math problem.
Every record drifts from reality the moment it's written. None of it is the truth. All of it is a performance of the truth.
Strategy is set in conversations, not documents. Yet 95% of what happens in those rooms never leaves them.
Not another tool to update. A layer that listens without being asked and learns how your organization actually works.
A living, governed layer for your people, your tools, and every AI agent in the stack. The latest, not the last-recorded.
We ask why any organization wouldn't. Read the argument in full — both volumes are below.

— The Coordination Tax, Vol. IFree downloads
Vol. I · A diagnosis
Why we built the Living Execution Plan.
The cure couldn't land until the disease had a name. A manifesto in five beliefs: management doesn't scale, systems of record can't keep up, and the most valuable substrate in any organization is generated daily — and evaporates daily.
Vol. II · An open draft
A world without the coordination tax.
The first book gave the thing a name. This one asks what comes next — when the plan is current automatically, continuously, intelligently. A vision document in six parts, written partly in the future tense, with room left for you to argue.
