What does "sweet spot" mean? [closed]

It's the area at which different factors balance out to give an optimal result. In this sentence, organisations below 300 do not benefit as much as those above that number, while also organisations above 1000 doe not benefit as much as those below it; so 300–1000 is the "sweet spot".

More formally, we might say that it was the optimum range.
