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

interaction work

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

The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies

McKinsey examined how social technologies could improve communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across enterprises.

What the source reports

  • The report estimates that social technologies could raise productivity of interaction workers by 20 to 25 percent.
  • It identifies internal communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration as major sources of potential value.
  • It notes that many organizations were using social technologies but not realizing their full potential.

Why it matters here

Chapter 1 focuses on interaction work: people using distributed knowledge to answer questions, coordinate decisions, and move work forward.

Guided Intelligence interpretation

The source is interpreted as evidence that knowledge-sharing systems can create value, while also showing why storage and communication alone do not guarantee consistent understanding.
