I just don't think doubling to 4-6-8 people would matter. It's still not viable. There's no synergy, you can't accomplish much, the work load is overwhelming, and it's not sustainable.

Most of us are used to a traditional growth paradigm that works over the long-term in an established org, but not at all in an expansion-like situation. I shared that link to the phired-up stuff. That's more the view an expansion team would take coming onto a campus. Within that paradigm, it certainly is possible to pull together 20 people in almost any circumstance, including I think this one. I didn't say it's easy, and they do have to go way out of the box. But, I mean this is a group that went co-ed at one point. I don't see that unconventional is beyond them.

You are thinking in a paradigm that is not applicable to the situation presented. A national's expansion is not comparable to a local's continued existence, just as a "traditional growth paradigm" is not applicable here.

A handful of people is more realistic than reaching 20.
