Model a 100-person org two ways. One flat group yields 10 high performers (Price's Law) and huge coordination costs. Four sub-groups of 25 each yield 20 high performers AND coordination costs roughly 1/125th as large. Sub-groups aren't an organizational workaround for human limits — they're the structure that Price's Law + coordination cost mathematically implies as optimal.
