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.
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.
Connect them to shared context and they stop being assistants and start being colleagues.
— The Coordination Tax, Vol. IThe 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 above.
