irsa.institute › diagnose
Almost every institutional failure that looks like incompetence is a timing problem wearing a disguise. The first useful question is not “who erred” but which substrate is going.
Pick the question below that sounds most like your week. Each returns a score with its inputs shown, so you can dispute the number rather than the argument.
Each substrate has a shape it should hold, a way it actually fails, and an instrument that puts a number on it — except one.
should circulate — fails by depleting on first deployment
should replenish — fails by exhausting under pressure
should persist — fails by eroding across containers
should decay — fails by persisting past its conditions
should update — fails by evidence being suppressed
should bind — fails by staying performative
Composite measures, for when you do not yet know which substrate is failing.
The same six substrates, traced through named real institutions. These are the diagnoses, not the remedies.
