State of Operational
Decision-Making in Multi-Site
Facilities 2026.

A field study of how decisions move through 40+ mid-market and enterprise operators running multi-site facilities, property, and field-service portfolios. Covers signal latency, SLA drift, vendor rotation fairness, compliance horizons, and the measurable cost of late escalation.

The Operational
Ontology 2026.

An industry-aware schema for decision systems. Specifies an eighteen-type core ontology across six domains, seven industry extensions, governance-lens binding, and counterfactual outcome attribution. The companion to our 2026 field study.

State of Workforce
Intelligence in 24/7
Ground Operations 2026.

The workforce companion to our facilities report. A structured study of how 24/7 operators, aviation, healthcare, security, transit, hospitality, actually run scheduling, fatigue, fairness, and incentive markets when minutes cost money and rest rules are non-negotiable.
