Well again here FTE’s in this case is not = fixed costs, but a meritocratic system only rewarding when actual contributions (ratings) were done.
But definitely agree on the BM comment. As stated in the vision update, the team intends (and already has) shifted focus and resources mostly toward BD and PMF exploration with new initiatives. However, this also comes with trade-offs.
On the concern about DS, I hear you. I think an ideal scenario would be that rating has it’s own dedicated tech lead (CTO/senior dev), that is part of the core team. I raised this requirement a few times, however this will also be quite expensive, so the current set up is a good short/medium term solution imo.
