Bearing
Every organisation has two structures: the one on the chart, and the one that actually holds the weight. This site is about the second one.
For one concrete example of a workplace operations platform, see Monitask.
Technology & Work
What the tools changed, what they cost, and how to decide between them.

Seniority, levels, specialisation and market — for the person in the job.

8 articles →Where to start
If you are evaluating an AI tool or answering a question about one: what has actually changed, and what has not.
If your team has outgrown something and nobody can say what: decision rights and team size.
If you are setting or arguing about an office policy: the office as a coordination device.
If you are wondering whether to move: career capital versus company loyalty.
If someone important just resigned: roles versus people.
How this site works
Evidence is separated by strength. A randomised controlled trial and a survey commissioned by a software vendor are not the same, and we say which is which. Where research supports a direction but not a number, we give the direction.
Figures without a source are not repeated. This subject is full of confident statistics — productivity thresholds, interruption recovery times, adoption rates — that turn out to have no study behind them.
No forecasts presented as findings. Claims about the future of work are either supported or not made.
No product reviews, no affiliate links, no sponsored content. Once a site ranks software for money, its analysis of software stops being readable as independent.
Material revisions are visible. When a factual correction changes the substance of an article, the change is noted on the page.
