Purposedifferent
When several people work toward one goal but hold different mental maps, Alignment Mapping makes the discrepancies visible. It arranges goals, assumptions, and priorities so shared direction becomes verifiable.When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results.

Organizational misalignments become visible across multiple levers as a result.
