I’ve only done 20-200-2k, but I agree with you fully. At 2k, there’s a weird middle ground (IMO) where you actually need a handful of wolves to keep things nimble. They cause an awful lot of strife particularly to the people who are trying to grow from 2k -20k, but they are the thing that keeps the other people moving in the right direction until you’re big enough that it’s just not tolerable anymore.

At that point you get an office of the CTO to be formal wolves!
