Small organisations often have lower overheads, not higher ones as you suggest. Large organisations often survive not on efficiency but on market muscle, which is more a factor in questions like which pizza people buy than which archaeologist they hire. There are plenty of small archaelogical organisations doing quite nicely. That should be clear even without the benefit of roadmaps or three letter acronyms (TLAs).
PS mmm....pizza...
