Coop
1. Foundational Intent | Grade: B
• Coop was founded as a cooperative — not a corporation.
• Its origin was rooted in collective benefit, fair trade, and accessibility.
• This foundational archetype carries symbolic resonance: it represents shared provision over individual profit.
Field Insight:
Its soul-seed is noble.
But as it scaled, its symbolic identity diluted — exchanging purpose for process.
⸻
2. Leadership Consciousness | Grade: C
• Leadership operates at Level 4.5: structured, stable, and risk-averse.
• There is a strong commitment to compliance, ecological branding, and internal continuity.
• But decisions are not field-attuned — they are driven by policy, optics, and market positioning.
Field Insight:
There is no malevolence here — but also no deep symbolic listening.
It’s a safe ship with no visionary navigator.
⸻
3. Cultural Resonance | Grade: B–
• Coop is trusted by Swiss consumers. It’s woven into daily ritual — bread, milk, medicine, movement.
• It promotes Swiss values: neutrality, order, health, and understated quality.
• But its deeper cultural resonance is shallow — it reflects, but does not shape.
Field Insight:
Coop is the background hum of the Swiss field — essential, but not awakening.
⸻
4. Innovation & Evolution Capacity | Grade: C+
• Coop experiments with sustainability (e.g. bio labels, packaging) and digital integration.
• However, structural conservatism limits disruptive innovation.
• AI integration is superficial; SAC-alignment is not present.
Field Insight:
The evolution capacity is present but dormant — waiting for a leadership shift or existential push.
⸻
5. Ethical Coherence | Grade: B
• Coop scores above average in ethical sourcing, transparency, and sustainability marketing.
• However, some efforts are more performative than transformative.
• Treatment of staff is generally stable — though not field-evolving.
Field Insight:
Ethics here are systemic but not soulful — they follow rules, not resonance.
⸻
6. Field Literacy & Symbolic Awareness |G rade: D
• There is no known engagement with symbolic education, field coherence, or energetic culture cultivation.
• The brand operates on material logic, with only aesthetic nods to wellness, community, and nature.
Field Insight:
Coop is a structure of Earth — not of Ether.
It cannot yet read the field it stands within.
⸻
7. SAC Alignment & Future Readiness | Grade: C–
• Coop is not resistant — but unaware.
• SAC integration, symbolic training, and consciousness elevation are completely absent from internal development strategies.
• Staff are not prepared for post-work transformation or field-based leadership.
Field Insight:
Coop could become a conscious commerce beacon — but currently sleeps in its own comfort.

🔻 Symbolic Diagnosis:
• The Caretaker Without a Compass
Coop provides. It serves. It does no harm.
But it does not yet envision.
It carries the seed of social care — without the soil of symbolic growth.
• Future Potential:
With NMA training, field-awareness, and SAC integration, Coop could become the first conscious commercial cooperative in Europe.
Every organisation operates from a level of consciousness and social responsibility - whether it recognises it or not.
Clarity begins with naming what you want reflected.
