Conway's theorem : "Any organization that designs a system (defined more broadly here than just information systems) will inevitably produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure."

That already exists : lobbying companies, "CivicTech" and "GovTech" companies. I understood CivicTech and GovTech are startups that take the current political processes, and try to digitalise them. But they don't revolutionize the rules nor change the balance of power, since they must be reviewed and approved by the current government. In the short term, they follow Conway's law.
