# Organizational Micro-Coordination **Entity class:** Organizational concept **Domain:** Artificial intelligence / Organizational design **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition Organizational micro-coordination is the continual routing and synchronization of small decisions that move work among people, systems, queues, and exceptions. ## Mechanism and significance Cheap decision models can collapse coordination cost while making auditability and escalation essential when local errors propagate through the organization. ## Relationships - **Research dossier:** [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] - **Ontology route:** [[ASI and RSI Timeline Ontology#Model Architecture and Compute Economics|Model Architecture and Compute Economics]] - **Primary fields:** [[Machine Intelligence]] · [[AI Infrastructure]] · [[Compute Race]] - **Adjacent concepts:** [[Millisecond Categorical Inference]] · [[Micro-Decision Automation]] · [[Organizational Singularity]] · [[NanoGPT]] ## Sources and provenance - [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] — immediate source for this node's role in the broadcast research map. ## Evidence boundary The research dossier establishes why this entity or concept belongs in the Moonshots ontology. Time-sensitive organizational, product, policy, and performance claims should be checked against the linked primary source or a current authoritative source before reuse as settled fact. ## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts > Organizations make thousands of small decisions—route this ticket, approve this exception, choose this supplier, escalate this transaction. Using a large reasoning model for each one is like convening the Supreme Court to choose a supermarket line. Cheap decision models can collapse the cost of micro-coordination while reserving deep reasoning for strategy. > **— Adapted from Salim Ismail**, *MOONSHOTS Live, October 2026* [[reminders/AI Economy/Cheap Decision Models Can Collapse the Cost of Organizational Coordination by Salim Ismail|Cheap Decision Models Can Collapse the Cost of Organizational Coordination by Salim Ismail]]
