Coordinations classify companies by their core economic role — showing how different functions like production, interface, logistics, and risk form the structure of the economy.
Every company participates in the economy by performing a primary function. Some transform raw materials into products. Others move resources through supply chains. Some absorb and redistribute risk. Coordination describes this primary function — not what a company sells, but what economic role it plays.
Understanding coordination reveals structural patterns that industry classification alone cannot. Two companies in the same industry may coordinate entirely different economic functions, while companies in unrelated industries may share the same coordination role. This structural view makes it possible to compare companies by what they actually do in the system, rather than by the label attached to their sector.
Each company is assigned a primary coordination and may hold up to two secondary coordinations where its function overlaps with other roles. The coordination map below visualizes these relationships across the full stock universe.
