Modern systems — economic, institutional, civic — create value in two ways.

The first is familiar: direct productivity gains from improved tools, processes, and technologies.

​​

The second is quieter but often far more powerful:
the value that appears when a whole system begins to work together more smoothly.

 

This second form of value is the Coherence Dividend.

It emerges when coordination improves across institutions, teams, sectors, and public infrastructure.
It is not tied to any single technology.

It is a structural effect of better alignment inside complex systems.

The Coherence Dividend is central to the D-Project because it reveals a category of value that has always existed but rarely been measured.
