0

Core Automation announced plans to cap its technical staff at 25 members or fewer by year end. The company builds systems to automate and optimize. It stated that each staff member should deliver the output of a sizeable team at a comparable organization. Academic Dan Roy indicated a preference for scaling to 250 staff while pursuing equivalent per-person productivity targets. Founder Anmol Gulati described the model as a compact frontier laboratory.
