Primes¶
- Evidence-Latency Window
- The military OODA framing, with cycle-time as the dominant variable, is a generalisation of this prime, and its lessons about result-clock speed transfer to litigation tempo and product-launch cadence.
This sourceStatement of the OODA (observe–orient–decide–act) loop, generalizing the decision-cycle-time-versus-information trade-off of which the evidence-latency window is a specific case.

Mechanisms¶
- Rolling Situation Update Cadence
- Its strength is that it guarantees a refresh floor that no event-driven mechanism can: it catches the slow, quiet deteriorations that never trip a threshold, and it enforces a decision rhythm — an operating tempo of continuous reorientation rather than one-shot assessment.
This sourceDepicts observation, orientation, decision, and action as an ongoing feedback process in which new information continually reshapes orientation.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
