Organizational Legibility
Making an organization addressable, so agents and humans can actually act inside it.
Organizational legibility is turning the implicit, scattered reality of an org into explicit, addressable structure that an agent can navigate.
Why it matters
Most orgs are illegible. Knowledge is spread across repos, tickets, docs, dashboards, and people’s heads. A human muddles through on relationships and tribal memory. An agent cannot. If the org is not addressable, the agent guesses, and a guessing agent with real access is a liability.
In practice
You turn the org into linkable structure: records for the things that matter, typed links between them, permissioned views, and policies on access. The org becomes queryable instead of folkloric, which is the precondition for letting agents act in it safely.
Where it shows up in my work
This is the problem helaix exists to solve: context infrastructure that makes the organization addressable through records, links, views, and gates.
