Thanks for the pointer PG. Great essay. There are like a dozen gem quotes in there. I will update my post with a pointer.

To pull directly from the article a technology startup is "measurement and leverage, where measurement comes from working with a small group, and leverage from developing new techniques."

If I pull from chunks I come up with:

A small group of people inventing a new way to solve a difficult problem that is hard for others to duplicate.

Is that far off from how you would sum it up?
