CAIRN

MARK THE TRAIL · BRING EVERYONE UP THE HILL

Business as terrain.

Every task is a stone. Every outcome is a peak. Every platform is a plate. Cairn is a living map of your company — derived from one flat table, honest at every altitude, and it always collapses back to the boring reports you already trust.

THE REGISTER

Children declare parents

One required field — "contributes to" — and the whole org chart of work derives itself. Work is claimed, never assigned. Records are canon: dates never lie.

THE TERRAIN

Height, area, and fog

Cairns build height (earned revenue). Plate infrastructure builds area (repeatable capacity). Fog is what nobody scouted. Multipliers move ceilings — and get ranked in dollars.

THE MAP

Space with meaning

A living Wardley map: vertical is value chain, horizontal is evolution, and components physically migrate as they industrialize. Not drawn in a workshop — derived from the work.
