Method & assumptions
Validate one primary parent per role, reject duplicate IDs and cycles, then count direct reports and levels from each root.
Hypothetical worked example
One lead and two reporting roles creates two layers and a direct-report span of two.
Scope and limitations
- User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
- Primary reporting lines only; matrix relationships require a separate review. Each node represents one position. No universally ideal span or automatic staffing recommendation.
