Growing and Thriving in a Multi Model World
summary
Small teams keep a small beautiful model by enforcing visible context maps and a 7-step recipe (visualize problem, list alternatives, highlight scenarios, pick with a deadline, capture an ADR), which yields a flat cost of evolution and fewer surprises. Growing teams find splits harder, often delaying maps and increasing coordination costs. Multi-country work uses parallel exploration (two teams revealing different flows), adapters and composable components to reconcile local regulation and reuse, and succeeds only when purpose-shaped boundaries are clear.
