Why Wikis Fail

Repositories preserve information. Trust requires structure.

Every organization builds a place for knowledge to live. Most don’t notice the moment it stops working.

Old standards stay searchable long after they’re replaced. Exceptions start looking like rules. A project note sits beside official policy, with nothing to tell them apart.

Nothing disappears. Confidence does.
