Ontology & Knowledge Systems

Definition

The practice of modeling each row or object as an instance of a general concept (e.g., Japan is an instance of country, not countries).

This is the vocabulary your business already runs on.

Decidr types an organisation the way a type system types a codebase — every goal, belief and strategy a named thing the whole system agrees about. Onboarding starts by mapping yours.
