If they provided an identical quality of service with 25 employees for $2m nobody would bat an eye. I'd say the fact that the team is so lean is justification for higher salaries in and of itself.

I think this is a better point. They seem to be incredibly capable for such a small team with such a large impact.

Could they provide a better service with 25 instead of 10 for $2m though?

Assuming the salary cost scales with the skill of the employee linearly and assuming that 25 people causes extra management overhead I would say no.
