Conjecture

A why scales by pairing one who holds the destination with others who build the route; the organisation amplifies the why.

The claim

A why carries to scale through a division of labour: someone who holds the why and sees the world as it should be, paired with people who hold the how and build the route there. The organisation as a whole then works as a megaphone for the why: the growing what amplifies it, and amplification without a clear why amplifies nothing. In this vocabulary a vision states the why and a mission states the how.

    T=3 L=45 above=Manipulation buys repeat transactions, not loyalty; loyalty is declining a better offer, and belief is only one of the things that produce it. below=A why is discovered by looking back at what the founder believed before the organisation, not invented by looking forward at goals or research. | 45: plausible and common; the evidence is a few famous pairs (Jobs and Wozniak, Gates and Allen), which is survivorship.
