Decision Latency
Product term: Decision Latency Metric
Category: metric
Definition
The time required to make and implement a decision in an organization. Low latency is crucial; it's the denominator in the OFI formula (lower latency = higher OFI). Includes time to identify the decision-maker, get information, deliberate, decide, and execute. Optimized through Signal/Echo, Digital Twins, Constitutional Review Board, and Routing Rules Engine.
Key Points
- •Time from decision identification to implementation
- •In OFI denominator: lower latency = higher fluidity
- •Includes identify → gather info → deliberate → decide → execute
- •Reduced by Signal/Echo and Routing Rules
- •Digital Twins prevent context-switching delays
- •Bottleneck in most traditional organizations
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a "good" decision latency?
Depends on decision type. Routine: seconds to minutes. Strategic: hours to days. Emergency: under 5 minutes.
How do I reduce latency?
Use Routing Rules to find right decision-maker fast. Use Signal/Echo for async alignment. Use Digital Twins to compress context-gathering time.
Why is latency in the OFI denominator?
Because reducing latency is the highest-leverage improvement. A 50% latency reduction beats a 50% plasticity increase.
