Every row has exactly one accountable owner.
Exactly one A per row. Zero means nobody owns the outcome; two means each will assume the other has it.
Responsible does the work. Accountable owns the outcome and is the one who answers for it. Consulted is asked before it happens. Informed is told afterwards. R and A are often the same person on small teams, which is fine as long as it is deliberate.
Two people marked accountable on the same row. It reads as thorough and behaves as neither of them owning it. The second most common is a row with no A at all, usually the boring cross-team task that later slips.
Enough to cover the decisions people actually argue about, usually ten to twenty rows. A RACI with a hundred rows is a work breakdown structure wearing the wrong hat, and nobody reads it twice.
