INFORMATION DEFICIT

Strategiq Deficit

Cognitiv™ BlogThe Information Deficit article named it almost in passing: Information Deficit, or more precisely, Strategic Deficit. One line, no elaboration. It deserves more than that, because the word "strategic" is doing real work in that name — and it's worth...

IQ, the Branded Suffix
Instead of using “-ic,” we use “IQ” to remind that everything we do is about increasing the Informational Quotient. Look at StrategIQ — this is a branded suffix, not decoration. Words that naturally end in “-ic,” like strategic, get that ending replaced with “IQ.” The word stays recognizable — StrategIQ still reads as “strategic” — but the swap embeds Informational Quotient directly into the word itself. The name doesn’t just label the instrument; it makes a claim about what the instrument does: bring information, and the discipline of asking whether it’s complete, into whatever the word originally described.

IQ, le suffixe de marque
Plutôt que d’utiliser « -ique », nous utilisons « IQ » pour rappeler que tout ce que nous faisons vise à augmenter le Quotient Informationnel. Prenons StrategIQ — il s’agit d’un suffixe de marque, non d’une décoration. Les mots qui se terminent naturellement en « -ique » ou en « -ic » en anglais, comme strategic, voient cette terminaison remplacée par « IQ ». Le mot demeure reconnaissable — StrategIQ se lit encore comme « stratégique » — mais la substitution intègre le Quotient Informationnel directement dans le mot lui-même. Le nom n’étiquette pas seulement l’instrument; il énonce une affirmation sur ce que fait l’instrument : introduire l’information, et la discipline de se demander si elle est complète, dans ce que le mot décrivait à l’origine.
