force multipliers
Capability enhancement tools
Force multipliers are factors that dramatically increase effectiveness beyond what raw numbers suggest.
The term comes from military strategy, where technology, terrain, or tactics can make a small unit fight like a larger one: Air support served as a force multiplier for ground troops.
The concept now applies broadly to anything that amplifies impact: Good software is a force multiplier for small teams.
A force multiplier lets you punch above your weight.
