Evidence

Twenty five programmes

MOSAIC has been run on twenty five programmes across the public, private and nonprofit sectors, using only evidence available at the decision point, with every figure sourced to the public record and every verdict written before the outcome was known, covering healthcare, financial services, infrastructure, technology, education and public administration across the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Seven of the twenty five carry a full diagnostic run against every available tool. The remainder are coded to the same schema from the published record.

Each read produces one verdict on pace. Full pace means the evidence supported committing. Phased means commit to one population first, against a named condition. Hold means do not commit until a named condition closes. The map below groups every case by who owned the programme and what the verdict was. Select any case to read it in full.

The case map

MOSAIC does not only say slow down.

Five of these twenty five programmes were told to move at full pace and were right to. The verdict is not a preference or a temperament. It is what the evidence available at the decision point actually supported, and it is written down before the outcome is known so it can be checked afterwards.

A note on the shape of this. The case base leans towards hold because public evidence leans towards failure. Programmes that go well are rarely audited in detail, which makes them considerably harder to source. We would rather name that bias openly than quietly balance the grid.

The full case library

Every programme, with the decision as it stood at the time.

Each case sets out what the organisation was trying to do, what the delivery problem actually was as distinct from the stated one, what they chose to do, and what MOSAIC would have said had it been in the room. Figures describe the size of the decision at the point it was taken. They are not savings Sense Shift claims to have delivered.

The evidence base

We did not invent the problem. It is measured, published, and getting worse.
