I’m not sure relationship-strength on a single axis is quite the right factor. At the end of a workshop, the participants don’t have that much familiarity, if you measure it by hours spent talking; but those hours will tend to have been focused on the sort of information that makes a Doom circle work, ie, people’s life strategies and the things they’re struggling with. If I naively tried to gather a group with strong relationship-strength, I expect many of the people I invited would find out that they didn’t know each other as well as they thought they did.
