I wonder. Are you asking the "right question"?

As can be verified by any number of people on this list, I am NOT an
expert Forth programmer. However as a ( technician / lab tech /
engineering tech / engineering aide / jr. engineer / inspector / ....
) I have observed a number of projects of various sizes.

I do not think problems change in kind as a function of project size.

The problems created by poor choices can be magnified multiple times
as project scale increases.
