Reminds me of Cringely's metaphor of "Commandos, Infantry, and Police" [0]. Not quite the same, though: The military analogy assumes that there are a fundamental tradeoffs between strengths and weaknesses (esp. getting-it-done vs. doing-it-right.) In contrast, it looks like "Finders" aren't described as having any particular weaknesses relative to Implementors.
