Question 1

Why Do Decisions Take So Long in Organizations?

Accepted Answer

Decisions stall when authority structures governing commitment are misaligned with mission-critical time horizons. IRSA's Regenerative Cycle Architecture (RCA) Extension I framework diagnoses this structural problem by analyzing authority cycles separate from governance processes.

Question 2

Is Our Funding At Risk?

Accepted Answer

Capital becomes fragile when coupled to external cycles—financial, political, capability, or civic. IRSA's diagnostic identifies which fragility cycles your capital is exposed to and assesses decoupling opportunities using the RCA framework's structural invariants.

Question 3

Are Our Funding Timelines Mismatched with Mission Outcomes?

Accepted Answer

Timeline mismatch occurs when capital cycles operate on different horizons than mission cycles. The Alignment Capital framework evaluates whether your funding structures are temporally aligned with outcome timescales.

Question 4

Why Is There All Process But No Decisions?

Accepted Answer

Governance proliferates without execution when procedures lack time-bounded authority. RCA Extension I distinguishes between governance (procedures and checks) and authority (capacity to commit resources within time bounds).

Question 5

Is Our Organization Ready for Regenerative Capital?

Accepted Answer

Readiness for Perpetual Social Capital (PSC) depends on structural prerequisites: mission clarity, cycle awareness, governance capacity, and stakeholder alignment. This diagnostic evaluates your organization's PSC suitability.

Question 6

Is Our Purpose Eroding Over Time?

Accepted Answer

Mission drift occurs when purpose is stored in containers (documents, culture, leadership) that cannot preserve it across time. IRSA's Institutional Memory framework identifies early signs of purpose erosion.

Question 7

Can Our Rules Protect Themselves?

Accepted Answer

Constitutional and charter provisions fail when they cannot defend against reinterpretation. Semantic Finance assesses whether your foundational rules have semantic protection mechanisms that preserve intent across leadership changes.

Question 8

Are Our AI Goals Verified?

Accepted Answer

AI alignment hits a ceiling when goals are encoded in model weights rather than governed as first-class objects. IRSA's Semantic Governance for AI framework evaluates whether your AI systems' objectives are semantically aligned with institutional mission.

Question 9

Is Our Founding Story Being Rewritten?

Accepted Answer

Founding narratives undergo semantic drift when communicated across generations. This diagnostic detects gradual reinterpretation of your organization's 'why' and identifies structural protections against narrative erosion.

Question 10

Is Our Impact Fund Drifting from Its Purpose?

Accepted Answer

Impact funds experience purpose erosion when investment thesis evolves under financial pressure. Semantic Finance identifies structural vulnerabilities in mission-aligned capital and recommends architectural protections.
