Lexicon

The Native Constraint Lexicon is the operating language for finance, accounting, and operations leaders. It defines the terms that shape execution inside real organizations and clarifies what those terms mean under constraint.

Each definition sharpens how leaders identify structure, burden, limits, and signal. Precision in vocabulary produces precision in judgment. When language is loose, execution drifts. When language is clear, responsibility sharpens and reliability strengthens.

Grounded in an operating model that prioritizes structure over heroics and meaning over mechanics, the lexicon exists to close the gap between technical competence and executive fluency. It provides a disciplined way to classify structural conditions, articulate them cleanly, and design for reliable execution.

The list is intentionally curated. Entries are selected when a term is frequently misused, misunderstood, or structurally significant to execution and professional growth.
