Organisational Intelligence
Organisational intelligence is structured, evidence-based understanding of how an organisation is functioning, derived from continuous signal rather than periodic measurement.

PulseMeasurement Glossary
Definitions for the organisational intelligence, signal processing, trust architecture, and AI concepts used by PulseMeasurement.
PulseMeasurement is an organisational intelligence platform that turns weekly AI-guided conversations into governed, role-bounded evidence about capacity, risk, alignment, blockers, support needs, and emerging talent.
People Intelligence
People intelligence is evidence about employee capacity, sentiment, alignment, blockers, risk, support needs, and emerging talent, interpreted in the context of work and responsibility.
Continuous Signal
Continuous signal is the ongoing stream of structured employee input that replaces delayed snapshot measurement with intelligence close enough to the work for leaders to act.
Signal
A signal is a weekly contribution from a team member that can be processed into confidence-scored evidence about work, capacity, alignment, risk, blockers, or support needs.
Signal Processing
Signal processing is the extraction, classification, scoring, and routing of raw participation into structured organisational evidence.
Confidence Score
A confidence score indicates how strongly the available signal supports a finding. It helps separate a tentative pattern from a strong and repeated organisational signal.
AI Conversation Coach
The AI conversation coach is the employee-facing AI model that guides weekly reflection and helps a team member articulate what they are experiencing without turning the exchange into a survey.
Manager Briefing
A manager briefing translates team signal into practical guidance: what to notice, what to ask, what to follow up, and where action may be needed before a one-on-one.
Executive Intelligence
Executive intelligence aggregates organisational signal into patterns that help leaders see strategy drift, capacity pressure, emerging risk, and execution health across teams.
Board-Level Org Health
Board-level organisational health is a live view of people risk, execution momentum, alignment, and emerging talent that is not assembled only for the board meeting.
Loop Closure
Loop closure is the return of evidence or action status to the person who raised a signal, so they can see that the organisation responded.
Closed-Loop Action
Closed-loop action means a signal is not only captured and analysed; it is assigned, tracked, acted on, and returned with evidence of what happened.
Role Boundary
A role boundary is an architectural visibility rule that defines what each role can see and act on in the system.
Structural Trust
Structural trust is trust created by procedure, boundaries, ownership, timelines, records, and loop closure rather than by asking employees to be brave or transparent.
Passierschein Principle
The Passierschein Principle is the idea that feedback systems work when they provide a formal route, owner, timeline, record, and return path, not when they rely on campaigns asking people to speak up.
Latent Dimension
A latent dimension is a pattern implied across multiple signals but not always explicitly stated, such as repeated capacity absorption before retention risk becomes visible.
Capacity Strain
Capacity strain is evidence that a person or team is absorbing more work, emotional load, coordination burden, or exception handling than their role can sustainably carry.
Strategy Cascade
Strategy cascade is the path by which organisational priorities become team goals, day-to-day work, and measurable execution signals.
Goal Health
Goal health describes whether a goal is aligned, supported, moving, blocked, drifting, or at risk based on the evidence around it.
Blocker
A blocker is an unresolved dependency, constraint, conflict, or missing decision that slows work before it becomes a visible delivery failure.
Remediation
Remediation is the managed follow-up process after a signal is identified, including ownership, actions, due dates, status, and evidence of response.
Audit Trail
An audit trail records what was known, when it was known, who saw it, what action was assigned, and what happened next.
AI Control
AI control is the set of logs, permissions, prompts, model boundaries, review paths, and audit records that make AI-assisted organisational intelligence governable.
Organisational Memory
Organisational memory is the record of signals, decisions, actions, outcomes, and learned playbooks that lets the system become more useful over repeated cycles.
Weekly Cadence
Weekly cadence is the recurring rhythm of signal capture and briefing that keeps organisational intelligence current enough for action.
Seven-Layer Architecture
The seven-layer architecture is PulseMeasurement's evidence model: context, work and capability, participation, signal processing, briefing and insight, action and remediation, and AI control and memory.
