How not?

I work at a Fortune 5 company.  All that's used there is a pyramid
structure established from the start.

What, exactly, do you need to have the leverage to influence people
on a massive universe that you build and prep before opening it to
the resident population?

Businesses do not have that luxury and still do it.
