Scale Effects

Scale Effects describes how systems behave qualitatively differently at different magnitudes. What works at 10 people often fails at 100, and what works at 100 often fails at 1,000 — not because the people or strategy are worse, but because scale changes the fundamental dynamics. Understanding scale effects is essential for organizational design, startup scaling, infrastructure planning, and biological systems.
