# Divergent Kind > Divergent Kind Pty Ltd (ABN 30 693 755 672) is an Australian research and advisory > practice in coherence architecture. Everyone measures the machine; Divergent Kind > measures whether AI lands in the people doing the work – then architects the > conditions so it does. Divergent Kind facilitates conditions for agency and coherence; we do not diagnose, treat, or cure. Boundary, on every surface: Divergent Kind facilitates conditions for agency and coherence; we do not diagnose, treat, or cure. ## What Divergent Kind offers - The Coherence Snapshot – free, on the homepage, two minutes. Pick who you are, add your own words if you like; a qualitative read composes on the page. Told, never inferred; nothing sent, nothing saved, no profile. - The Coherence Read – a focused read of whether AI is landing for the people in the work. - The Coherence Audit – fixed fee, three to four weeks, board-ready. A measured read across the four dimensions, a friction map, the priority moves, an honest decision gate. - AI Impact Assessment facilitation – four to six weeks, method handed over. Public sector. - The thesis – free to read: https://www.divergentkind.com.au/thesis Pricing: fixed fee, agreed before we start – figures at scoping. Engagement sequence: Audit, then Compass, then Install, then Evolution – run in order. ## The four dimensions of the Coherence Lens Defined at https://www.divergentkind.com.au/coherence-lens – the Lens is open: freely citable, freely usable as a frame, with attribution to Divergent Kind. - Agency – does the system expand or constrain what the human can decide and do? - Reciprocity – does the system return value proportionate to what it asks? - Alignment – do outputs match what the institution actually does? - Signal Integrity – can the receiver act on what it produces; does its confidence match its evidence? The measurement engine, scoring logic, numeric scale, thresholds, weighting, taxonomies and adaptation logic are proprietary: never published, and not licensed for commercial reuse without written agreement. Selling an assessment built on the Lens, reproducing the scoring system, or training a commercial diagnostic tool on Divergent Kind materials requires a licence. ## What Divergent Kind does not do - We do not operate the systems we measure. We read and recommend; the decision is owned by the client. - We do not guarantee outcomes. - The engine never leaves the house: it is not published and it does not enter any model's context. - Divergent Kind facilitates conditions for agency and coherence; we do not diagnose, treat, or cure. ## Provenance - Trade marks: nine applications filed at IP Australia, counted from the register of 30 May 2026 and verified against the Australian Trade Mark Search on 13 June 2026 – Divergent Kind 2643828, Divergent Kind Coherence OS 2643861 (accepted, awaiting publication), Consciousness-Centred Design 2643870, DK Certified Coherence 2648236, Awareness Constellation 2648237, Resonance Wayfinding 2648238, Neuroarchitectonics 2648239, Dynamic Transposition 2648240 and Qualitative Coherence Indicator 2648241. - Provisional patents: five, filed at IP Australia, priority date 13 May 2026. - Authorship and citation rules: https://www.divergentkind.com.au/we-filed - Entity: Divergent Kind Pty Ltd · ABN 30 693 755 672 · Parcel Locker 10070 99518, 59-67 Jonson St, Byron Bay NSW 2481, Australia. ## Contact - richard@divergentkind.com.au - Book a Coherence Call: https://calendly.com/richard-divergentkind/coherence-audit (30 minutes · your context, our read · no deck) ## Pages - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/: The practice: everyone measures the machine; we measure whether it lands. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/organisations: For organisations: scale-ups, PE portfolio companies, boards. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/public-sector: For government: direct SME engagement, AI impact assessment. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/ai-impact-assessment: AI impact assessment facilitation for the public sector. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/coherence-audit: The Coherence Audit: fixed fee, three to four weeks, board-ready. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/coherence-lens: The Coherence Lens: the four open dimensions, freely citable. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/how-we-work: The engagement sequence: Audit, Compass, Install, Evolution. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/thesis: The category thesis: systems should adapt to people. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/writing: Writing and published pieces. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/speaking: Speaking. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/about: About Richard Lipp, the founder. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/architecture: The stack: where the coherence layer sits. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/the-standard: The Standard: licensing and certification, in development. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/coherence-journey: The Shift: the cinematic deep wing. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/insights-article: Published article. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/we-filed: The filing milestone: provenance, marks, provisional patents, citation rules. - https://www.divergentkind.com.au/agents: The machine entry page: entity facts, offers, dimensions, citation rules.
