The Goldilocks Embedding Formula: The Enterprise Moat Equation

The Goldilocks Embedding Formula

The formula that defines enterprise embedding success:

Cross-Departmental Adoption + Handoff Ownership + Organizational Habit = Goldilocks Embedding

The Three Components

Cross-Departmental Adoption

You’re not one team’s tool. You’re organizational infrastructure. Multiple teams depend on you independently. Result: multiple stakeholders defend you.

Handoff Ownership

You live at the intersection points where silos break. Removing you means breaking the bridges that hold coordination together. Result: you’re positioned at the seams.

Organizational Habit

You’re the meeting artifact, the shared language, the single source of truth. You’ve shaped how the organization operates. Result: you’re part of the operating system.

The Goldilocks Zone

Achieve all three, and switching cost is high (organizational disruption, not just technical migration) while switching desire is low (you’re creating genuine value for everyone).
