gollark: This is one of those annoying things where we're limited to wild speculation so probably don't do anything weird businesswise.
gollark: Democratic ones theoretically allow more input from everyone, which should lead to decisions which consider their interests more and take into account information people know, but also run into whatever issues existing democracies have plus probably exciting new ones due to presumably having a direct democracy voting on a lot of things.
gollark: Hierarchical ones (theoretically) allow clear direction and management from the top but also lack input from lower levels and are vulnerable to the top people being wrong/bad.
gollark: Before trying to think of ideas for organization structure it might be good to clarify what exactly the organizational structure should do/allow/optimize.
