We studied how five organisations retain and compound institutional knowledge through AI-assisted workflows. The gap between those with persistent knowledge systems and those without widened with every quarter. By month nine, structured teams were operating at fundamentally different capability levels.

We traced 16 strategic signals from operational reality to executive reporting across two organisations. On average, 67% of signal content was lost, transformed, or delayed by more than 90 days. The quarterly review is structurally incapable of seeing what matters.

How to follow a single signal (a customer complaint, a risk flag, a market insight) through an organisation and measure exactly where and how it degrades into uselessness.

OKRs were designed to create alignment between strategy and execution. In practice, they often do the opposite, creating an illusion of alignment that masks deeper disconnection. We examine how this happens and what to do about it.
