Not Measuring Interdependence as a Cost Multiplier
A company with high interdependence pays a high tax on every feature, every incident, every hire, and every departure. The tax compounds as the company grows. The same architecture that worked at the startup stage becomes the primary cost at the scale-up stage. The company never saw it coming because nobody was measuring interdependence as a cost multiplier.
That multiplier on the real work is how sync tax is computed.
