Artifact — false-triangulation diagram
The insight (stated on the card, plain): Four surveys agreeing is not four pieces of evidence. They share one method, so they share one blind spot.
Diagram description (for design):
- On the right, a single dot labelled "the perceived state: what's wrong."
- On the left, four short labelled bars stacked vertically: "health index," "culture survey," "engagement study," "maturity assessment." From each bar, an arrow runs rightward to the single dot. The point of the composition: all four arrows come from the same side and run roughly parallel, converging on the dot but sharing one direction, not surrounding it from different angles the way real triangulation would.
- Under the four bars, a bracket ties them to one shared origin, labelled "all one method: self-report."
- Just past the dot, set off by a thin vertical boundary line, a second dot labelled "the cause: what the organization can actually do." None of the four arrows cross that line; they all stop at the perceived state. The gap between the perceived state and the cause is the single accent-red element on the card.
- Read left to right: many instruments, one vantage point, all landing on the symptom, none of them reaching what sits behind it.
Attribution: none named, no face. A small "Vanaya Strategic" mark only.
Page type: single-frame infographic (false triangulation). Insight complete in one frame.
Design intent: flat, on-brand ground in the schematic language (no photography), heavy Mulish for the one-line insight, the accent red reserved for the gap between the perceived state and the cause. Pure single-post: no reframe, no bridge, no CTA. The four bars stay generic categories, never named products or providers.
Sourcing note: the common-method point is the article's own, from the "Several surveys are not independent evidence of a cause" section (Podsakoff, common-method variance). No figures. Diagnostic types stay generic categories per the guardrail.
