Granularity In Business/Investing

• A 'fine' granularity (ie lots of smaller sales / customers) will mean that the company doesn't rely particularly on any individual sale.

• A 'coarse' granularity - where the company has only a few customers or sales, makes the company vulnerable to factors affecting the individual customer.
