You read Will Larson’s book, didn’t you? Over here talking about logarithmic functions of headcounts and what not :P For those that haven’t, or if my respondent hasn’t: https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Puzzle-Systems-Engineering-Management-ebook/dp/B07QYCHJ7V https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Puzzle-Systems-Engineering-Ma... It’s no holy grail of engineering management, but what it _is_ is a well sourced book of “starting points”. Nuggets of thought. None of them really complete, a good deal wide, not very deep, but ultimately very relevant.
