The explanation party was maybe 4 or 5 people. The "retro" was 10+ people (almost 20 on calendar but I don't think everyone actually attended).

That is certainly what it looked like to me

I wonder if, in this case, 10 is too few, and it'd been better with a technical person and manager at the same time? Maybe everyone manages themselves pretty well?

Tech Lead Manager maybe? But I'm guessing. https://www.developing.dev/p/tech-lead-manager-tlm-roles
