I’m sure if we spend the requisite amount of time on this specific diagram, we will find that most large corporate structures fit with a minimum of abstraction and allegory.

For example, how often does a CxO speak publicly to the employees (whether via “town halls” or in email)? Put that in “open defecation.”

Did SFDs for a couple of secondary cities and the number that always wrecked the diagram was emptying frequency. Everyone claims their pit gets desludged, then you find out it's once a decade.
