What AUM growth warrants adding investment team headcount?

Say a fund is $500 million AUM rn. If it raises $200 million, does it add another analyst? Or does it add another analyst only if it raises another $500 million? 

How many analysts does it add if suddenly $3 billion comes in soon? 

Is the CIO solving for maintaining the AUM per IP?
