I spent about ten years working with small teams that move quickly and rely on informal coordination to get things done. In those environments, speed matters. People make decisions as they go, knowledge lives in conversations, and progress depends heavily on a few individuals who understand how everything fits together.
Over time, I started noticing a consistent issue. When I returned to these teams months later, the work was still moving forward, but much of the original clarity was gone. Important decisions were difficult to trace. Processes that once felt obvious now required explanation. The people who had carried the context had often moved on, taking that understanding with them.
What stood out was that nothing had actually failed. The teams were still capable and committed. But because there was little space to slow down and consolidate what had been learned, the thinking behind the work remained fragile. As conditions changed, that fragility showed up as friction, rework, and a growing dependence on memory instead of structure.
Post205 exists to address this gap. We help teams make their workflows, decisions, and accumulated understanding more explicit and durable, so progress doesn’t rely on a small number of people or need to be reconstructed every time something changes.
That’s a solvable problem. Let’s work on it deliberately.
