How it works

Public signal in. Decision material out.

Phive reads the signal your organization already leaves in the open — customer reviews, employee reviews, earnings calls, filings, news — and scores how well intent, reality, and action stay connected. This page is the engine room: the math, the dimensions, and the evidence.

The engine · Three dimensions

What a company says, what it means, and what it does.

Phi (Φ) measures the alignment between what a company says, what it means, and what it does. The math draws from integrated information theory in neuroscience and applies it to enterprise: the more aligned the parts, the more coherent the whole. The more coherent the whole, the more value it produces, and the longer it takes for that value to leak.

α

Shared Reality

Do people across levels and functions see the same facts, or has the organization fragmented into silos where sales believes one story, engineering another, and finance a third?

β

Shared Meaning

When strategy cascades through layers, does it stay intact, or does each function turn it into something the original is no longer recognizable in?

γ

Shared Intent

Given the same situation, will different parts of the organization make compatible decisions, or will they optimize for conflicting outcomes?

The evidence · Why this works

Coherence is not sentiment. It is a measurable operating signal.

Organizational Φ correlates with 52 of 76 financial metrics tested across 40+ quarters, leading by 2–4 quarters. The signal is readable 4–6 quarters before it shows up in earnings.

The read: Coherence is measurable. It shows a consistent relationship to financial outcomes. The signal is readable 4–6 quarters before it shows up in earnings. Internal dashboards measure what already happened. Phive measures what is about to.
The correlation chart shows that Φ leads financial outcomes. The X-Ray shows where the signal is breaking down — and why internal dashboards miss it. See a sample X-Ray →
The synthesis

Hundreds of frameworks. One synthesis.

The agent stack applies hundreds of validated frameworks to over 1.5 billion data points spanning more than ten years of organizational, financial, and behavioral signal. Each framework contributes one dimension. The synthesis is what compresses a $1M, twelve-week engagement into a five-day sprint.
