Organizational Waste

It is likely that 10-100x of human effort is wasted on organizational waste, when every company 'reinvents the wheel' in terms of setting up operations. First, a company designs its products, just as hundreds of other companies, so that all the companies compete to make a suboptimal design. Because they are not all collaborating to make a single construction set for the optimal design.

The factor of waste (10-100) is simply the number of companies that make a given product.

Design staff, marketing staff, operations staff, production, facilities, tooling, software tools - all suffer from waste.

For example, collaborative design with the other 100 companies largely eliminates design costs. Microcivilization-based captive market exists within any Abundance Microcivilization.
