Even in war, moral power is to physical as three parts out of four.

Material strength counts for less than people assume, even where force is the whole point. What a group believes about itself, and whether it trusts whoever is directing it, decides more than the count of resources on either side. The same holds in much smaller contests, which is how a well-equipped team loses to a committed one.

If something you are part of is struggling, look at the state of belief before you look at the budget. Ask whether people think the work matters and whether they trust the person in charge. Repairing that is slower than buying equipment and it changes considerably more.
