ProblemThe biggest team is not the best team, but the org chart is tempting.

TechniqueCreate a specialist only when the work genuinely requires different tools, different context, different expertise, independent verification or true parallel execution. Add Bots to remove proven bottlenecks.

Why it worksEvery additional Bot adds another context window, another handoff, another place to lose information and another thing that can fail.

When to useAny roster design, especially before the system is proven.
