Having spent thousands of hours pair programming I would assume that this is were mob programming is especially valuable. The decisions you make early on are the decisions that everyone on the team will have to deal with. So if you do nothing else as a team this should be it. I actually recently had a client who was lukewarm about pair programming. But they mob programmed on new laying foundation work fit new services. We pair programmed on three new services together at the same time. So much syncing had to happen afterwards that mob programming the foundation would easily have been more efficient and effective.
