Goal Health Beats Project Status

The era of traffic-light status is ending. It was an honest attempt to create order under constraints of human coordination and poor sensing, but it incentivized the wrong behaviors. The new north star is Goal Health: a probabilistic, policy-aware truth that makes work audible and actionable.

Dynamic Guilds: Orgs That Assemble Themselves

Explore how dynamic guilds—adaptive teams of humans and AI agents—replace rigid workflows with goal-driven collaboration. Learn how organizations can reconfigure themselves naturally to achieve outcomes in complex environments.
