English term or phrase: sub-scale
Key sites are currently sub-scale which affects competitiveness.
The high fix cost basis gives little flexibility in price reduction when sites remain sub-scale.

I only have these two sentences from a PowerPoint presentation. Can anyone shed a light on the expression sub-scale. Is it to do with the sites not being up to scratch?
