Clarity
“How are we working?”
The facts of the work, told plainly — descriptive, never evaluative.
What it is
Clarity is the descriptive lens. Analysis agents read the organization's work record — the sessions — and return what is actually happening in the work: the patterns, the friction, the places where flow breaks and the places where it holds. It reports; it does not rank.
Where the other three lenses ask how people feel, grow, or relate, Clarity establishes the shared ground of fact that all of them reason from. Get this lens wrong and every conversation downstream is an argument about whose anecdote is true.
What it’s for
To replace vibes and politics with evidence — so a conversation about how the work is going starts from the same picture, at the altitude that fits the question: a person's own view of their work, a team's view of its flow, the organization's view of where effort accumulates.
What lives inside
Session analysis
Agents read the work record and summarize it into patterns and friction points — not activity counts.
Three altitudes
The same lens at person, team, and org, each seeing only what its altitude is permitted to see.
Flow & friction
Where work moves and where it stalls, always anchored to an outcome rather than to hours logged.
The Gap
Clarity's headline number — what the systems imply minus what people report. A positive Gap means something unwritten is constraining the work.
In a faithful implementation, Clarity is an analysis layer over the organization's own work record: agents read the sessions where they already live and return the facts at person, team, and org altitude, with the Gap reported beside its components. If what you're shown is an activity leaderboard, it isn't Clarity.
