PG's most usable line is that founder mode talks to the 100 most important people, not the 100 highest on the org chart. The metric becomes: depth on the org chart of the people you actually spend time with. A concrete quarterly habit — write down who the 100 most important at your company would be, and check whether their formal-hierarchy depth is creeping upward. At 3-5 people, everyone is the 100 most important; the question is what happens at 15, at 40.
