the alignment blueprint - ExOS diagnostic


One diagnostic, four lenses — Enterprise/Tech · Luxury/Wellness ·Brand/Experiential · Civic/Academic

State → behavior → performance.

IDEAL FOR

  • Visionary Organizations

  • High Tech Companies

  • Conscious Brands

Design Veritas turns science-backed design into environments, rituals, and cues that make coherence visible.

Why this journey

We design ecosystems for coherence—modern, intentional, and regenerative—so performance accelerates and experiences elevate.

We start small, in the real world, so you feel the shift before you fund the scale. Every step is measurable and tailored to your brand, property, or team, so the full transformation journey is actionable, celebrated and sustained.

We start with The Alignment Blueprint, our ExOS diagnostic:

10–14 days to clarity you can feel—and prove.
A rapid, design-led diagnostic that shows where your culture, environments, and systems help—or hinder—human and business flourishing. We create a felt shift in days, quantify it on a one-page scorecard, and give you a Decision Brief with the ROI and a 6-week plan to install what works.

Why start here

  • Misalignment is costly. When what’s said and what’s felt don’t match, attention scatters, energy leaks, results stall.

  • Fast, low-friction proof. We shift state before behavior using tiny, precise moves—then prove what moved within a week.

  • Decision-ready. One page of signals both Finance and People leaders accept.

What it is (at a glance)

A design-led audit run through ExOS—The Experience Operating System:

1) Sense & Map

  • Quick read of Ethos · Experiences · Environments (E³)

  • Invisible scan: sensory, emotional, cultural, informational, Inner Architecture™

  • Baseline signals selected (3–7)

2) Live Prototypes (Shift)

  • Signal Kit (ANB): 2–3 micro-vignettes (e.g., Arrival Exhale, Quiet Edge, Recharge) with care cards

  • Language OS: word cues that set tone & rhythm

  • Rhythm OS: Quiet Edge focus blocks, meeting-free bands, Anchor Day outline

  • Personal ExOS: 60–90s rituals (breath/posture/gaze/daylight micro-dose)

3) Measure & Decide

  • Baseline → week-scale deltas on a one-page ExOS scorecard

  • Decision Brief (10–12 pages): what moved, estimated ROI, risks, targets, and your best next Pathway (6 weeks)

What happens (day by day)

Days 1–2 — Baseline & Ethos
Sponsor kickoff (30–45 min) · quick interviews/walkthroughs · light/acoustic spot checks · calendar/chat review · select 3–7 signals.

Days 3–4 — Setup
Choose 2–3 high-leverage sites/moments (thresholds, choke points, niches, vistas). Prepare ANB vignettes, Language Cues, Rhythm holds. Define matched pre/post windows.

Days 5–9 — Live
Run the moves with named stewards. Collect weekly mini-pulse + operational data (no heavy surveys).

Days 10–12 — Read-out
Dual scorecards, ROI snapshot, risks, and your 6-week Pathway plan (roles, cadence, targets).

Time required from you: One sponsor + one steward. That’s it.

Signals & scorecard (one page, shared language)

Human (state): calm • clarity • belonging • recoverability (60-sec micro-pulse)
Operating: deep-work minutes • context switches • meeting load • after-hours messages • anchor-day utilization
Business: cycle time (idea→ship) • rework % • NPS/GSAT • dwell/attach (where relevant)
CSS checks (principled): daylight % • hybrid-equity • findability time • ritual adherence

We report baseline → Week 1 → Week 2 deltas, then carry forward into the 6-week Pathway.

Pick your lens (same Blueprint, tuned metrics)

Enterprise / Tech — Focus · Recovery · RTO Experience
Signals: deep-work mins/day; % focus days ≥120 min; context switches/hr; after-hours rate; belonging; anchor-day utilization.

Luxury / Wellness — Sanctuary · Awe
Signals: arrival dwell; NPS/GSAT; sleep/renewal pulse; repeat intent; RevPAR indicators.

Brand Experience — Meaning · Recall · Community (not retail)
Signals: story recall; affinity/belonging; dwell in key zones; UGC/saves/earned media; partner inquiries.

Civic / Academic — Belonging · Learning Flow
Signals: belonging; participation; time-on-task; perceived safety.

What you get (deliverables)

  • ExOS Map (E³ × Invisible): where experience helps vs. hurts

  • Signal Kit (2–3 ANB vignettes) with care cards (goal • placement • light/sound spec • tone line • 2-min weekly care)

  • Language OS quick sheet (tone-lines, micro-scripts)

  • Rhythm OS quick sheet (focus holds, meeting-free bands, Anchor Day outline)

  • One-page ExOS scorecard (baseline → week deltas)

  • Decision Brief (10–12 pages): ROI, risks, targets, and a 6-week ExOS Install Pathway

No-Remodel Promise: Capex follows data. We pilot first and invest only in what moves the needle.

Why it works (the ExOS difference)

  • State before behavior. We use Art · Nature · Beauty (ANB) as operating signals (not décor) to change how people feel in minutes—so behavior and KPIs follow.

  • Operational rails. We codify the change into standards · rituals · roles · cadence you can run.

  • Dual scorecard. One page both the CFO and CHRO can stand behind.

The WOW leaders feel & see

  • Minute one: the room settles—people visibly exhale.

  • Week one: deep-work rises, after-hours drops, belonging improves.

  • Read-out: a single page that makes the next move obvious.

Typical week-scale outcomes*

  • Enterprise/Tech: deep-work +15–30% · context switches −20–35% · after-hours −20% · belonging +10–15 pts

  • Luxury/Wellness: arrival dwell +10–20% · NPS +4–8 pts

  • Brand Experience: story recall · dwell +10–20% · UGC/saves +15–25%

  • Civic/Academic: belonging +8–12 pts · participation +10–20%
    *Adjusted to team size and maturity.

How do we know it worked? You’ll feel it in the room and see it on the scorecard within days.
Who runs it? One sponsor and one steward; we train owners during the Blueprint.
