What makes the next location worth opening?
Network growth creates value only when incremental demand, unit economics and strategic coverage justify the capital and complexity added.
Human augmentation should begin with the task, not the interface
Advanced interfaces matter where they materially improve how people perceive, decide, interact or perform within specific working conditions.
Strategic challenges

A large team can remain fragile when authority, specialist skills or operational knowledge are concentrated among very few people.

POV
