Surely you can use your own intuitions? That will capture much more data than any individual measurement.
I do agree that it’s harder to make sure people are optimizing for the same things in this case, especially as an organization goes over successive Dunbar Numbers.
Of course. Understanding and refining your intuitions is a critical part of this (“this” being rational goal definition and pursuit). And the influence goes in both directions—measurements support or refute your intuitions, and your intuitions guide what to measure and how precisely. I’ll argue that this is true intrapersonally (you’ll have conflicting intuitions, and it’ll require measurement and effort to understand their limits), as well as for sub- and super-dunbar groups.
I don’t think I understand “vibing” well enough to know if it’s any different than simply discussing things at multiple different levels of abstraction.

Yes, my point being, a valid approach for certain projects is to use your intuitions to guide you, and then use ad-hoc measurements at various points to ensure your intuitions are doing well.

This is one reason that vibing is important.
