There's some resonance between the scalable & non-scalable revenue streams. The details of what one does in the non-scalable portion can be massively amplified in the scalable portion.
It's as if, for some combination of business models, the quality of the non-scalable aspect becomes the exponent for the scalable aspect:
r = s^(nt)
revenue = scalable to the power of the non-scalable * time
Versus a pure non-scalable play, like straight consulting:
