+1 staff/principal etc. is the same thing. Agreed on fractal model with healthy room for mistakes that should be carved in for everyone - it's the only model that can enable healthy growth. Non-practicing architects are 0, and non-architectign engineerign is 0 too. This said, as much as I hated the architect idea earlier in my career (because I was architecting regardless of my title) - the concern and ability to architect things is a very real one. It can only be learned by taking responsibility and having room for mistsakes.
