Interdependent Architecture Maintained Through Scale
Companies pay the Sync Tax when they maintain an interdependent product architecture while trying to scale. As the product grows, complexity creates a wasteful system where every new feature results in higher coordination friction.
A new feature that should have taken a week required two months of a four-person team, not because the feature was hard, but because keeping three systems aligned consumed most of the effort. Domain coupling dollars are the extra from unrelated parts that must move together.
