Lesson learned :-).
It would have been even more meta if the OP posted "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is to ask questions."

Yet I also start with a lot of questions.
We've tried something similar with one of our sites for digital marketing advice. Yet, maybe because of our delivery, but we didn't provoke engagement.

Might want to check if there's research into armchair theorizing. Maybe start with econometrics papers ;)
I am trying to get my team and the greater business to start documenting processes and procedures. I wanted to use this article/theory/principle to motivate my team to start documenting. Problem is I cannot find this article or name of the theory/principle and require your help with the name of the theory?
