Decay Catalogue

30 decay patterns across 3 axes × 4 scopes — the anti-virtue catalogue.

The Decay Catalogue is the structured enumeration of how virtues erode. Thirty decay patterns are mapped across three axes — direction, velocity, and visibility — and four scopes — individual, team, function, and enterprise. Each pattern is paired with its early indicators and its counter-instruments.

This white paper is the diagnostic companion to every virtue in the Atlas. For each capability you build, the catalogue tells you what will eventually try to unbuild it, and how to detect the drift before it becomes the damage.

For leaders responsible for sustaining ethical-management maturity, the catalogue is the early-warning system.
