In this case, do you think RP should focus more on quality and less on quantity as we scale, by satisficing on quantity and focusing/optimizing on research quality (concretely, this may mean being very slow to add additional researchers and primarily using them as additional quality checks on existing work, over trying to have more output in novel work)? This is very much not the way we currently plan to scale, which is closer to focusing on maintaining research quality and trying to increase quantity/output.
(reiterating that all impressions here are my own).
I don’t feel strongly. You all have more context than I do on what seems feasible here. My hunch is in favor of RP maintaining current quality (or raising it only a tiny bit) and scaling quickly for a while — I mostly wanted to give some counterpoints to your suggestion that maybe RP should lower its quality to get more quantity.
