Be aware that…
Scaled Agile Framework

…If your company do not have >3 abstraction levels
maybe you don’t need SAFe

7.

Furthermore…

…If you don’t have coordination breakpoints in your company
maybe you don’t need to scale

8.

And above all…

…If you are an startup or small company
surely SAFe is not for you

but if you get to the point where you're so big you need to,
SAFe would be the answer
…If you can avoid scale in your organization, do it!
