Truth Management Framework
Creating coherence through systematic documentation of how you see and operate in the world
What is Truth Management?
Truth management is the discipline of systematically documenting and organizing the conceptual frameworks that guide decision-making—whether for individuals or organizations. It's about creating shared vocabularies, explicit principles, and coherent worldviews that enable aligned action.
This repository demonstrates truth management in practice by systematically documenting the ontology of truth management itself. It serves as both explanation and example—showing how to create coherent vocabulary, explicit principles, and organized knowledge around any domain.
The framework applies across two primary scopes:
Personal Worldview Development
Document your evolving approach to life decisions. What principles guide your choices? How did you develop these frameworks? How do they integrate across relationships, work, money, and meaning? Version control your life philosophy to evolve intentionally rather than by accident.
Organizational Truth Management
Create institutional coherence by documenting the philosophical foundations, operational realities, and strategic contexts that define how your organization operates. Eliminate the "fog of war" that fragments growing teams by establishing clear, accessible organizational truth.
Why This Matters
Most individuals operate from unconscious, contradictory principles assembled randomly through social media fragments and inherited assumptions. Most organizations suffer from information silos, inconsistent messaging, and directional whiplash as they scale.
Truth management solves coordination problems through documentation.
When people share explicit understanding of core principles, decision-making frameworks, and operational realities, individual initiative amplifies collective purpose rather than creating internal friction.
About
I'm Gary Sheng, a software engineer, educator, and movement builder passionate about helping individuals and organizations create alignment through systematic truth management. I've seen how documentation systems determine whether businesses succeed or fail.
This work emerges from observing that competitive advantage increasingly comes from organizational capability rather than just proprietary technology. The organizations that thrive maintain coherence while adapting rapidly to change.
When done well, truth management is the ultimate force-multiplier.
