Information in SHIRPA is not just data—it is decision input.

It includes:

• Documentation

• Metrics and dashboards

• Reports and narratives

• Shared understanding of context

The critical question is not “Do we have data?”
It is “Do we trust what we are using to decide?”

When Information is weak:

• Decisions are inconsistent

• Teams argue over facts

• Rework increases

• Confidence erodes

When Information is strong:

• Decisions improve in quality

• Alignment increases across teams

• Effort is focused on the right problems

• A shared reality emerges

• Consistent definitions and sources

• Information aligned to decision needs

• Transparency across levels of the organization

• Reduced ambiguity and reinterpretation
