MIT CISR Operating Model Quadrants (Coordination, Unification, Diversification, Replication)
The quadrants prescribe how much to centralize decision rights and platforms and how tightly units must share data end to end, leaving reward design and skills assessment unaddressed.

The origin of the framework, as the directory records it. The mark grades the origin, not this page.
Umbrex, MIT CISR Operating Model Quadrants (Coordination, Unification, Diversification, Replication)
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads four: Structure, Authority, Coordination, and Resources. The other eight it leaves to you. None of Composition, Evidence, or Mastery is among them, which is the usual result in this directory: the questions an agent in the loop raises first are the ones the literature answers least.
The library already carries it as Enterprise architecture as strategy, and that entry holds the full sources and the cells in detail.
This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
What is the smallest unit that can own a customer outcome end to end?
Which decisions may an agent make alone, and who is able to stop it?
What synchronizes the work when there is no room and half the team is not a person?
What is owned, what is rented, and what is summoned only when needed?
