6.1.2 GMP (Gross Meaningful Problems) ​

The Measure of Ambition

GMP calculates the total sum of energy and resources an organization (or society) is allocating to structural HUMPS and BUMPS, versus the energy wasted maintaining trivial LUMPS.

It answers the question: Are we tackling problems that actually matter, or are we just manufacturing noise? The goal of GMP is to shift a society from Low-GMP (fixing trivialities like ad-click optimization) to High-GMP (transforming existential threats like energy infrastructure).
