Thanks for the thoughtful write-up. I’m currently working on a journal article about optimizing organizations from first principles, starting with optimized delegation. Would love your thoughts on the paper if you’re willing to take a look.

These are two public previews that we are building off of for the journal:

2. https://x.com/hatsprotocol/status/1986458735095517526

Trust as delegation is an interesting angle; if you’ve not read Team Topologies I’d recommend it. These topics are treated pretty well.
