Different business models have inherent and predictable scaling challenges. This core difficulty isn't a flaw to be fixed, but a feature of the model. The biggest competitive advantage comes from becoming the best in your industry at solving that specific, unavoidable problem.
Entrepreneurship is defined by making decisions with incomplete information. Most choices should be directional, reasoned from first principles. Only irreversible, "one-way door" decisions justify delaying action for more data collection, as you will never have complete data.
For a business with traction, the best bet for growth is scaling what's already successful. The probability that a new initiative will outperform an already optimized process (the "control") is low. The primary strategic question should be "Why can't we do more of what's working?"
