- In short
- The right decomposition granularity is the level at which each unit has a single owner (Claude, system, or human) and a single failure mode. Decomposing too coarsely hides sub-tasks that belong to different buckets or need different patterns; decomposing too finely fragments work that should stay together, adding coordination overhead with no benefit. Granularity should be re-checked against the pattern-selection factors, such as error cost and observability, once a candidate pattern is chosen.
