Celerity

About

Institution

Independent thinking, organised into a discipline.

Celerity exists to develop and publish original, durable and practical ideas about organised capability, enterprise quality, governance, artificial intelligence and long-term value.

Purpose

To produce original research that improves how organisations create, govern, compound and lose capability over time.

Mission

To produce clear, first-principles research that helps leaders, investors and institutions improve judgement about enterprise capability, governance, AI and long-term value.

Vision

To establish Capability Science as a recognised discipline and build a coherent body of enduring research.

The Celerity Standard

A publication should be original, useful, evidence-based, first-principles, durable, clear, coherent, falsifiable, responsible and complete.

Institutional principles

How Celerity works.

First principles

Begin below accepted wisdom and identify the productive mechanism.

Intellectual honesty

State uncertainty, distinguish evidence from inference and revise when facts change.

Long-term orientation

Prefer durable ideas to fashionable commentary.

Practical utility

Theory should improve judgement, diagnosis, design, governance or allocation.

Restraint

Do not publish merely because content can be produced.

Better questions

End with a question that improves future analysis rather than false finality.
