Compounding Intelligence
The property of structured strategic intelligence that becomes more valuable with use. Every scan, insight, assumption update, and decision outcome enriches the system, making future intelligence more accurate and useful. (Strategy as Infrastructure, Ch 7)
Why it matters
Compounding intelligence is the mechanism behind the cold-start moat. The architecture can be replicated in days; the accumulated intelligence — validated assumptions, decision outcomes, strategic evolution history — can only be built through use. An organisation that has operated strategic infrastructure for twelve months has a depth of structured learning that no competitor can shortcut.
