We study models of adding relations between a delegate member and other member of a pyramid organization for the purpose of revealing optimal additional relations. This paper proposes a model of adding edges between a delegate node and every other node of the same depth N in a complete binary tree of height H when adding edges are shorter than those of the complete binary tree. The lengths of adding edges are L (0 < L < 1) while those of edges of the complete binary tree are 1. The total shortening distance to obtain the optimal depth N* which maximizes the total shortening distance is formulated. Furthermore, the total shortening distance of this model is illustrated with numerical examples.
