Headcount growth
New people, new sub-teams, more decisions. The same Decision Sovereignty Map covers more surface area.
Architectures that worked at 100 employees stop working at 250. Governance Maintenance is a quarterly or annual cadence that re-scores the LAI, reviews the Decision Sovereignty Map, and recalibrates governance before the next pressure point arrives.
New people, new sub-teams, more decisions. The same Decision Sovereignty Map covers more surface area.
New goals create new decision classes the existing architecture wasn't designed for.
A new exec inherits authority that was tuned for someone else.
LAI re-measurement (quarterly or annual). Tracks change vs. baseline.
Decision Sovereignty Map review with the executive team. What's drifting?
Targeted updates: re-allocate authority, adjust escalation thresholds, refresh governance cadence.
Active scaling. Headcount or strategy changing fast. Recommended for organizations growing >30% YoY.
Stable phase. Architecture is healthy. Maintenance is a check, not a redesign.
Effectively yes — Governance Maintenance is calibrated against your prior baseline. Without a prior LAI score and Decision Sovereignty Map, there's nothing to maintain or recalibrate.
Quarterly is recommended for organizations growing >30% YoY or going through strategic transitions. Annual is right when the architecture is healthy and the organization is in a stable phase. We can switch cadence if your context changes.
Pricing is scoped during the discovery call — anchored on your prior baseline (Sprint or OS), the cadence you select, and your executive team size. We share a scope and number on the call.
Some clients run lightweight internal reviews between cadences. The full re-score and recalibration use the LAI instrument and Decision Sovereignty Map review process — both delivered by the implementation partner under the methodology.
We'll review your prior baseline (Sprint or OS) and propose a cadence that fits your scale.
