You're getting close to Conway's Law

Well, that's part of what I meant by "it's not quite as determinative". Conway's law constrains solutions but it doesn't determine them; it's not a 100% guidepost the way "letting me see your data" almost does 100% show what the code needs to be, at least at some level of abstraction. I feel like there's some stronger formulation that may more strongly narrow down how the architecture has to look than just the org chart.
