Work Composition: a canvas for describing real work
An open method for mapping a workflow’s decisions, capabilities, evidence, handoffs, and machine-delegable parts across twelve cells.
Field notes
The method organizes a workflow into four bands—Intent, Composition, Motion, and Proof—and twelve named cells, including Authority, Flow, Coordination, Evidence, Mastery, and Incentives. Teams are directed to score one real workflow in about ninety minutes, then examine where judgment sits and what evidence would demonstrate competent execution. The page says the canvas is designed for paper but also defines its fields as structured data, allowing completed descriptions to be retained and compared across an organization.
