Weekly Commitment Review
The second tier of the coherence layer. Its job is to check whether this week’s emerging priorities still fit this week’s stated commitments, and to resolve coherence questions that are too small for the Monthly Learning Loop but too large for individual disposition. Its output is a list of questions — not decisions — most of which are answered in the room or handed back to the sensing layer. The common failure mode is leaking upward into a strategy meeting, which reintroduces the bottleneck the rhythm was built to remove. (Strategy as Infrastructure, Ch 15)
Why it matters
The weekly commitment review replaces the traditional status meeting. Its defining discipline is producing questions, not decisions — any question that can be answered in the room is answered; anything larger is formulated as a coherence question and routed to the monthly learning loop or back to the sensing layer. When it leaks upward into strategy discussion, it becomes the weekly strategy meeting that every organisation dreads, and the rhythm loses its speed advantage.
