Headcount growth
New people, new sub-teams, more decisions. The same Decision Sovereignty Map covers more surface area.
Governance Maintenance. Every decision system drifts. Keep yours aligned.
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.
TL;DR
- Cadence: quarterly (active scaling) or annual (stable phase).
- Three activities: Re-score the LAI · review the Decision Sovereignty Map · recalibrate governance.
- Prerequisite: a prior Sprint or LA OS baseline.
- Best fit: organizations with positive Fit Score that want to keep it that way.
Why decision architectures drift.
Strategic pivot
New goals create new decision classes the existing architecture wasn't designed for.
Leadership turnover
A new exec inherits authority that was tuned for someone else.
What Governance Maintenance does.
01
Re-score
LAI re-measurement (quarterly or annual). Tracks change vs. baseline.
02
Review
Decision Sovereignty Map review with the executive team. What's drifting?
03
Recalibrate
Targeted updates: re-allocate authority, adjust escalation thresholds, refresh governance cadence.
Cadence A
Quarterly
Active scaling. Headcount or strategy changing fast. Recommended for organizations growing >30% YoY.
Cadence B
Annual
Stable phase. Architecture is healthy. Maintenance is a check, not a redesign.
Common questions.
Do we need to have done a Sprint or OS first?
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 vs. annual: how do we choose?
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.
What's the typical investment?
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.
Can our team run this internally?
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.
Book a discovery call
We'll review your prior baseline (Sprint or OS) and propose a cadence that fits your scale.
