- Hiring and feature requests: open-call postings drawing applicant volumes whose screening consumes hiring-manager capacity without changing the offer-acceptance rate, and post-launch feature-request surges whose prioritisation overhead exceeds the marginal product value. Charitable in-kind donations and editorial systems: thrift stores discarding much of what they receive because sorting labour exceeds resale value, and submission systems where editorial first-read cost is the binding constraint.
