Company learning
Making the company's own evidence outrank generic advice
The same questions keep being re-answered from scratch.
Signals to look for
- we tried that
- again
- already did
- lesson
- learned
- repeat
Questions to answer
- What has this company already tested, and what did it find?
- Is the result written where the next decision will see it?
- Does any recorded lesson contradict the general advice being followed?
- How confident is each lesson, and on what sample?
Evidence required before committing
- recorded lessons with results
- the hypothesis each tested
- the sample and window
Likely constraint
- Results not written down
- Lessons written but never retrieved
How the decision branches
- IfA recorded lesson contradicts general adviceThenThe company's own verified evidence wins, and the plan says so out loud.
- IfA lesson rests on a tiny sampleThenHold it as weak evidence, not as law.
- IfNothing is recordedThenThe first improvement available is recording results at all.
What to test
After the next completed test, write the hypothesis, the result, the verdict and whether to repeat, and check it surfaces in the following decision.
Read after 30 days.
What success looks like
- The lesson is retrievable
- The next related plan visibly reflects it
What means stop
- Lessons are written but never influence a plan — the retrieval is broken, not the writing
Typical next move
- A lesson is retrieved and used → The loop works; keep the discipline.
- It is not → Fix retrieval before writing more.
Who does the work
Aury can carry out: read company, file memory, prepare document. Specialists involved: strategy.
Where this stops being true
Applies always, and is the reason the rest of the corpus improves over time.
A lesson from one company at one moment does not generalise to others, and Aurygine keeps it strictly inside that company.
