How it plays
Running a profitable tech company from startup to market dominance is the definitional central loop of the game. Budgeting finances, time, and materials to hire, develop products, and manage operations is core to success. Interlocking systems of hiring, development, marketing, and competition produce emergent strategic outcomes.
