nonscalable
Resists growth attempts
Nonscalable describes something that cannot be scaled—either climbed or expanded.
A nonscalable wall is too smooth or steep to climb: The prison installed nonscalable fencing.
In business and technology, nonscalable systems or processes cannot grow efficiently to handle increased demand: Their handcrafted approach was nonscalable beyond a few dozen customers.
