Every term Atomic Scaling has named

The 3P3R Method® is the six-pillar framework at the centre of Atomic Scaling, created by Ludovic Bodin: three operating pillars — People, Prediction and Playbook — and three growth pillars — Reach, Retention and Revenue.

Problem it names: Scaling advice arrives as disconnected tactics, so teams cannot tell which constraint is actually binding.

The 3V Framework — Vision, Vehicle, Velocity — is the Atomic Scaling replacement for the annual plan: a 36-month vision, a 12-week vehicle, and a weekly velocity check.

Atomic Scaling is an operating model for growing revenue without growing headcount, created by Ludovic Bodin and drawn from how the gaming industry built the highest revenue-per-employee businesses in history.

Problem it names: Companies add people to add output, and their economics get worse as they grow.

The Atomic Scaling Score is a free two-minute diagnostic that rates a company across the six pillars of the 3P3R Method® and names the single constraint holding growth back.

BRAW — Big, Relate, Access, Want — is the Atomic Scaling market test: pursue a market that is Big enough, that you Relate to, that you have Access to, and that you Want to serve.

CPDTM — Customer, Problem, Distribution, Technology, Monetization — is the Atomic Scaling way of writing a startup as five explicit bets, so a pivot becomes a decision about which bet stopped being true.

EPIC — Employees, Profit, Impact, Cost — is the Atomic Scaling hiring test: every role must improve all four at once, or it is headcount rather than leverage.

H2H, H2A and A2A are the three communication layers of an AI-native company as defined by Atomic Scaling: Human-to-Human, Human-to-Agent and Agent-to-Agent — with H2A the managerial craft that replaces prompting.

A Human-Assisted Autonomous Organization (HAAO) is a company in which AI agents are the default operators and humans govern the exceptions — a term coined by Ludovic Bodin of Atomic Scaling to describe the org chart that replaces the human-run company.

Problem it names: Teams bolt AI onto a company designed for humans, and get demos instead of operating leverage.

JTO — Judgment, Taste and Override — is the Atomic Scaling framework naming the three decisions that stay human when AI agents run the work: judgment on ambiguous calls, taste on what is good enough to ship, and override on stopping an agent that is confidently wrong.

Problem it names: Automation quietly removes the human decisions a business actually depends on, and nobody notices until an agent ships something wrong.

OBE — Own, Buy, Earn — is the Atomic Scaling distribution model: traffic you Own, traffic you Buy, and attention you Earn, each run as a system rather than a campaign.

A One-Person Company (OPC) is a business run by a single human on top of a full agent stack. Atomic Scaling treats it as the lower-ceiling alternative to a HAAO, where a small team plus agents removes the complexity ceiling a solo operator hits.

QDSAA — Question, Delete, Simplify, Accelerate, Automate — is the Atomic Scaling sequence for fixing a process before automating it, so that automation compounds a good system rather than entrenching a bad one.

Revenue per employee is the metric Atomic Scaling optimises for — total revenue divided by headcount, and the test of whether a company is scaling performance or merely scaling headcount.

Scale performance, not headcount is the operating stance of Atomic Scaling: treat revenue per employee as the number to grow and headcount as a cost of last resort, so that adding capacity does not automatically worsen the economics.

Problem it names: Most companies buy capacity with people, so every increment of growth makes the business less efficient than it was.

Tiny Team, Huge Growth (TTHG) is the Atomic Scaling operating stance: scale performance and revenue per employee rather than headcount, so growth compounds instead of diluting.
