Incentives & Constraints

The physics of Institutional Behavior

Systems do not fail because of lack of desire; they fail because they are perfectly designed to produce the results they are currently getting.

This lens identifies the invisible “gravity” of the organization: What is actually punished and what is structurally impossible to achieve under current conditions.

Forensic Indicators

• Perverse Incentives: Identifying where a metric for success inadvertently creates the conditions for failure (e.g., speed prioritized over safety)
• Invisible Constraints: Mapping the budgetary, legal, or cultural “walls” that prevent the blueprint from functioning as intended.
• Resource Friction: Measuring the gap between the authority to act and the resources required to execute.
