I define the Workscore Economy as a core mechanic of the WCF, where every task is tracked, scored, and surfaced. I show how clarity emerges from full visibility, with work requests flowing through a disciplined structure that ties actions to outcomes. Scoring drives accountability, coaching, and momentum—removing ambiguity and making performance data live, actionable, and fair. This isn’t a theory; it’s how execution becomes truth at scale.
In the Work Control System, every bit of work is surfaced as a ticket—opened, closed, succeeded, failed. Nothing hides in backchannels or quiet corners. Every task is visible. Every goal creates work. Every piece of work leaves a trail.
This creates a Workscore Economy: a living system where units of work flow through the organization like blood through a body. At any given moment, there is a total workpoint count—the sum of all active, in-progress tasks in the system. These are the raw materials of execution: tickets waiting to be worked, goals waiting to be achieved.
As work flows through, it creates outcomes. Deliveries are accepted, revised, reworked, or rejected. Those outcomes generate credits. And credits feed your workscore—a live, rolling score tied directly to recent performance. Everyone can see their score. And more importantly, everyone knows what it’s tied to.
Because the system is fully surfaced, people are naturally incentivized to create clarity. They request tickets for new goals. They track and close them out. They keep their score clean. And they know the score reflects the truth of their output—not vague impressions or political maneuvering, but actual deliverables tied to actual goals.
At the center of this system is the Work Request. If you’re in the system, you can assign work to your downline or request it from your upline or peers. Everyone can create work—but only the direct upline (or their AI Work Assistant) has the authority to prioritize it. The result is a system that encourages initiative, while still maintaining discipline. New work enters the stream, but it doesn’t automatically disrupt the flow.
That flow only works when every ticket is tied to a goal. Goals give structure; tickets give motion. And every motion—every delivery—must be acknowledged and scored.
Organizations can decide how often deliveries are expected, and who is responsible for scoring them. That cadence can vary by role. Frontline workers may be expected to score every delivery they receive. Managers may only score high-impact deliverables. Executives may focus on evaluating the goals themselves rather than the individual tasks. But regardless of the level, scoring must happen—and when it does, the system has data.
Not just about the quality of work, but about its rhythm. How many work events occurred in a week? How many were accepted on first delivery? How many required revision? The answers aren’t buried in project management tools or manager memory—they’re live, and they form the basis of performance itself.
AI tracks which departments are keeping up and which aren’t. If a division stops scoring deliveries or fails to produce enough of them, the system flags it automatically. The gaps become visible—no status meeting or reminder required. The surface area of execution becomes self-auditing.
And while favors or leniency may still exist—someone might say, “Don’t mark this one as Rework”—those exceptions start to create friction. They weigh on the person who gave the pass. They create drag. Over time, patterns emerge, and the system corrects.
When someone consistently underdelivers or overestimates, the system doesn’t punish—it responds. It enables coaching. Some workers simply need to be taught how to scope better or move faster. Others need clearer goals. The Workscore Economy gives leaders the information to act early, before those issues compound.
Yes, it may sound like every worker’s worst nightmare—a quantified labor machine. But in truth, it’s a precision system. One that replaces ambiguity with clarity. One that tracks not just activity, but value. One that enables an organization to move with rhythm, discipline, and truth.
And most importantly, one that scales—without the founder having to push every button.
