  • Some problems have a good-enough-toehold-with-infinite-ceiling shape.
    • They start off as being clearly worth doing.
    • You get a toehold to good-enough with human-level effort.
    • But then you can expand beyond your horizons, fractally.
    • This continues on to infinity.
    • The more PhDs you throw onto the problem, the more value you create.
    • These problems are excellent strategically.
      • After the viability point, the more PhDs you throw on them, the more of a moat you create.
