### Domain Scores

| \# | Domain | Score | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Medulla** | 8/10 | Revenue stable, core product is viable and differentiated |
| 2 | **R-Complex** | 7/10 | Clear leadership, defined roles, reasonable hierarchy |
| 3 | **Thalamus** | 6/10 | Communication functional but siloed between shifts |
| 4 | **Amygdala** | 6/10 | Incentive structure present; some tension between old/new staff |
| 5 | **Hippocampus** | 7/10 | Good institutional memory for operations; weak onboarding |
| 6 | **Cortex** | 10/10 | Strong strategic vision, clear roadmap, aerospace sector focus |
| 7 | **Limbic** | 5/10 | Team bonding informal, trust issues between departments |
| 8 | **Akashic** | 4/10 | Leadership avoids naming problems; operational fog on issues |
| 9 | **Lethe** | 3/10 | Burnout creeping in; two staff on leave; institutional failures repeated |

## Key Findings

### 🟢 Strengths

- **Cortex (10/10)** — Outstanding strategic clarity. The leadership team has a clear, differentiated vision for the aerospace supply chain. The roadmap is documented, communicated, and shared across the organization.
- **Medulla (8/10)** — Core business model is sound. Revenue is stable and the product is well-positioned in the market. No immediate survival risk.
- **Hippocampus / R-Complex (7/10 each)** — Operational knowledge is well-retained; role clarity is high.

### 🔴 Fragile Areas

- **Lethe (3/10)** — The most critical warning signal. Burnout patterns are present, staff have been lost, and the organization is repeating failures it should have solved. This domain directly threatens Medulla stability over time.
- **Akashic (4/10)** — Leadership is not naming problems honestly. The gap between stated culture and actual culture is wide. Team members report feeling pressure to perform without support. Without honest self-assessment, the Cortex vision cannot be executed.
- **Limbic (5/10)** — Trust deficits exist between manufacturing floor staff and management. Team cohesion is lower than it should be for an organization at this stage.

## Facilitation Recommendations

1. **Address Lethe first** — Implement a structured debrief process after project failures or staff departures. Do not allow the organization to simply "move on." Institutional forgetting is the most expensive pattern in scaling organizations.

2. **Akashic audit** — Conduct a single anonymous all-staff survey: "What is the single biggest problem this organization is not talking about?" Aggregate results without attribution. Share the themes with leadership and respond with one named action per theme.

3. **Limbic bridge-building** — Establish a monthly cross-shift social ritual (informal, not mandatory). The R-Complex structure is solid; the Limbic needs deliberate nurturing to match it.

4. **Thalamus upgrade** — Current communication is functional but siloed. Implement a lightweight end-of-shift 15-minute shared log (what we did today, what's blocking us tomorrow). Low-lift, high-signal.

## Longitudinal Tracking (Quarterly Re-Assessment Plan)

| Quarter | Focus | Target |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Q1 (baseline) | Full nine-domain map | Establish scores above |
| Q2 | Akashic + Lethe interventions | Lethe: 3 → 5; Akashic: 4 → 6 |
| Q3 | Limbic + Thalamus | Limbic: 5 → 7; Thalamus: 6 → 7.5 |
| Q4 | Integration | All domains 7+; Cortex maintained |
