Organisational design
The right person can sit in the wrong chair — and the right chair can arrive in the wrong year
TIDE reads a person across five capacities, weighs them against what a chair actually demands, and tells you whether to push, hold, move, or steady first.
Karma is charged only when you confirm. If the reading cannot be made, nothing is charged

Deepen the current chair first — this is not yet the year to move
Fit
The five capacities everything is measured in
Every chair leans on these five in different proportions — a delivery lead and a sales lead do not need the same person, even at the same level on the chart.
- CommandDecides what nobody has decided before
- StrategySees the whole board before moving
- ExecutionLargest gapTurns plans into things delivered
- PeopleGets different people pulling one way
- StructureBuilds frames that stand unattended
Candour
Every answer arrives with its vote count
Each verdict passes through five advisory seats that read the same person by independent methods. When they agree, we say they agree. When they split, we show you where — never averaged into something that looks certain. A seat that cannot answer abstains; we do not guess on its behalf.

Timing
And the right chair can arrive in the wrong year
Beyond whether a person fits a chair, TIDE reads each person's timing year by year — when their window is opening, steady or closing — so a move happens in the year they are ready, not the year a seat happens to fall empty.
- PushGive a larger chair, in the year the person is ready
- Hold and deepenDeepen the current chair first
- Move seatsThe right person, but not this chair
- Steady firstNot yet the year to move
The record
And we record how often we were right
Every verdict carries a date it can be checked. When that date arrives we ask what actually happened, and keep the accuracy where you can read it. This part is free, permanently.
- 1A verdict is issuedwith claims that can be checked, and a date to check them
- 2On that date, we ask what really happenedrecorded once, never edited afterwards
- 320 real outcomes per seatbefore any accuracy percentage is shown
The ledger
Counted from the live ledger, refreshed hourly- issued with a date to be checked
- 6
- with the real outcome recorded
- 0
No percentage is shown until 20 real outcomes are in — a figure from a handful looks like evidence, but is not yet
