  "searched": "Terms: 'Bezos two pizza team rule communication breakdown', 'Dunbar number 150 Gore company plant limit employees organizations'. Both halves of the claim are independently documented: Amazon's two-pizza rule (teams capped at ~6-10, accountability diffuses past that) and Dunbar's ~150-person limit on stable relationships, with W.L. Gore capping plants at 150 because 'things get clumsy at a hundred and fifty'."
