SALARAHandbook

The Evidence

Research Library

The Handbook defines SALARA. The Research Library explains SALARA's concepts through focused articles, public evidence, and stable reference paths.

SALARA concepts

Chapter 6 introduces the concepts. The Research Library explores them.

These articles expand on the concepts introduced in Chapter 6 while preserving the Handbook as the canonical overview of SALARA.

SALARA concept articleAssertionsAssertions are the atomic governed units of Organizational Intelligence in SALARA.SALARA concept articleGovernanceGovernance is how SALARA decides what organizational knowledge may become trusted Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articleRuntimeRuntime is the SALARA layer that applies activated Organizational Intelligence to answer or guide requests.SALARA concept articleCompilationCompilation is the controlled transformation of approved Assertions into deterministic, deployable Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articlePublicationPublication is the controlled step that makes compiled Organizational Intelligence available for activation.SALARA concept articleActivationActivation selects a published Organizational Intelligence artifact for Runtime use in a defined context.SALARA concept articleKnowledge CI/CDKnowledge CI/CD is the governed path by which knowledge enters SALARA before it can become runtime-authoritative.SALARA concept articleOrganizational Intelligence CompilerThe Organizational Intelligence Compiler is the SALARA component that transforms approved Assertions into deterministic, versioned, deployable Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articleReplayReplay makes SALARA Runtime behavior inspectable by reconstructing what happened from recorded evidence.SALARA concept articleAcquisition ProvidersAcquisition Providers are the bounded interfaces SALARA uses to bring source material into the governed intake lifecycle.SALARA concept articleUniversal IntelligenceUniversal Intelligence is shared reference intelligence that can support multiple SALARA domains and organizations.

Canonical evidence objects

attention fragmentation

Public sources only. The records are intentionally concise so Handbook chapters, topic search, and Knowledge CI/CD integrations can reuse the same evidence model.

Will AI Fix Work?

Microsoft reports that the pace of work, information flow, meetings, email, and notifications have outpaced many workers' ability to process them.

What the source reports

  • 64% of surveyed people said they struggle to have the time and energy to do their job.
  • 68% said they do not have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday.
  • 62% said they struggle with too much time spent searching for information.

Why it matters here

Chapter 2 examines the repeated retrieval and interrupted attention hidden inside ordinary organizational interactions.

Guided Intelligence interpretation

The source does not endorse Guided Intelligence. It supports the handbook observation that information abundance can still leave people without usable guidance at the point of work.

Attention Span

Gloria Mark draws on two decades of research into attention, distraction, and the effects of digital media on everyday work and life.

What the source reports

  • The work examines multitasking and interruptions in digitally mediated activity.
  • It frames attention as a limited resource affected by the conditions in which people work.

Why it matters here

Chapter 2 makes attention fragmentation visible as part of the hidden cost of repeatedly rebuilding understanding.

Guided Intelligence interpretation

The source does not endorse Guided Intelligence. It supports the chapter's emphasis on the cognitive cost of interruption and repeated reconstruction.
