Coordination is a P&L line. Treat it like one.
Coordination represents around 57% of your payroll, and you have no control over it.
* Coordination refers to any need for synchronization and alignment of workflows between humans, machines, and systems.

Coordination — financial model
| Stage | Per year | % payroll |
|---|---|---|
| Full payroll | $ 60.0 M | 100% |
| In coordination | $ 34.2 M | 57% |
| Low-value coordination | $ 10.3 M | 17,1% |
| Recoverable (target 35%) | $ 3.6 M | 6.0% |
Load: Microsoft Work Trend Index 2023 (57% of time in communication). Low value: Steven Rogelberg, UNC Charlotte (~30%).
Recovery: modeled range (target on the waste). Zeroing inefficiency is impossible; recovering all of it, too. Conservative estimate: it excludes the ripple effect, when one team's poor coordination delays the others.
YOUR CASE STUDY
Your coordination includes AI agents now. Does it fit on your P&L?
Stop treating coordination as culture. Economic visibility before the board demands it.
Governance tailored to your decision model.

Calibrated for your scale
Designed for organizations with high density of white collar work and/or relevant adoption of agentic AI.
Continuous diagnosis.
Direct correction.
Your team doesn't need to learn another software. Our statistical models run in the background over coordination data (human and human-AI) and propose specific corrections when they detect waste patterns.
- Passive monitoring with zero operational friction.
- Custom alerts delivered directly to Slack/Teams.
- Evidence-based corrections: the person decides, the system records.

Don't micromanage people. Govern coordination.
Human and human-AI coordination on the same P&L line. Auditable, system-aggregated, never per individual.
Coordination isn't just people coordinating people anymore.
There's a new coordination frontier inside your company that nobody is measuring. You have teams coordinating AI agents: Copilot, Claude, vertical agents. You have agents coordinating other agents in multi-step workflows. Decisions come out of this human-agent mesh every day, and the financial cost is invisible.
Human coordination was already the largest ungoverned line of white-collar payroll. Now a second layer grew, pricier, faster, completely off the calendar. Whoever measures only human coordination today is measuring half the problem. Whoever measures none is paying the bill without seeing it.
Ritometrics puts coordination on the books. Human and human-AI, aggregated by system, in currency, on the same P&L line. Not culture, not survey, not surveillance. Financial governance of an OPEX line that finally has a name.
