Lost in between Speed and Scale Organizations will fail under AI knowledge production acceleration because irreversible commitments, such as product deployments, will propagate faster than shared orientation can update and intervene. When the rate of commitment exceeds the rate at which understanding can meaningfully constrain action, organizations accumulate disorientation risk. This risk remains latent during periods of momentum and surfaces abruptly as systemic failure. Durable advantage under AI-speed production depends on engineering orientation infrastructure—mechanisms that interrupt momentum and bind learning into future action—rather than relying on judgment, foresight, or post hoc correction. https://npcmemo.substack.com/p/lost-in-between-speed-and-scale
