These tools turn the framework’s vocabulary into something you can use. Each one is self-contained — you can hand any of these to your COO or a department head and they’ll be able to run it without reading anything else on this site.
Start here:
- The Trapped Intelligence Diagnostic — The top-level diagnostic. Find exactly where intelligence is stuck and what kind of fix it needs.
For specific situations:
- The Team Trade-Off Matrix — See where combining people made your organization smarter and where it made it dumber.
- The Franz Ferdinand Check — Find where someone’s authority exceeds their understanding.
- The Capability Reality Check — Discover what your team thinks its capabilities are versus what they actually are.
