About

This site is about the gap between what organisations measure and what actually predicts the outcome — in retention, in management, in careers, and in the tools around them.

Who writes it

The archive does not provide a confirmed individual byline for every page, so the site does not assign one where it cannot be verified.

A blocking gap, and a specific one here: 111 of the archived articles are credited to the site name rather than to a person, and repeating that with the new material would repeat what was wrong with the old.

What it covers

Measuring — what is captured, what predicts, and how to close the gap using data you already hold.

Managing people — the largest controllable factor in retention and what it consists of.

Careers — leaving, staying, moving and negotiating, from both sides.

Tools — work software, CRM and time tracking, and what each can establish.

The standard for sources

Every figure carries its source type in the sentence — peer-reviewed, professional body, survey organisation, or vendor.

One source here is peer-reviewed and it is cited repeatedly because there is little else of that standard in this field.

Vendor figures are labelled at every use, not once on a method page, because most published workforce statistics come from companies selling the remedy.

What this site does not do

Give HR or legal advice. Dismissal, discipline and surveillance questions go to somebody qualified.

Name products in an evaluative context. Categories are described; products are not ranked.

Or promise outcomes. No growth figures, no timelines.

What this domain published before

Between July 2024 and February 2026 this site published 115 articles across a wide range of unrelated subjects — consumer technology, hosting, affiliate marketing, hardware comparisons.

They are retained by the owner's decision, dated and kept separately, and nothing in the current material draws on them.

They were not written to the source standard described above, which is why they are in their own section rather than mixed in.

Corrections

Errors are logged. Numbers from a real organisation outrank anything here — what you measured, over what period, what changed.
