Lean Execution Team Limit

Jun '26

Live Revenue Commences

Real-Time: Revenue Offset

By June, QSR live revenue begins. This cash flow fundamentally offsets the heavy cloud API inference costs needed to train the AI Cashier.

Real-Time: The Dev Pivot

Once QSR generates revenue (June), 4 of 6 devs instantly pivot to Retail & Healthcare MVPs. Bandwidth maximized without inflating headcount.

8. Marketing Investment Scenarios

Q1-Q3: Budget locked for Stealth & Pilot Marketing. | Q4 (Redemption Quarter): Deploy reserved capital for industry dominance.

Scenario A: Expos

Sponsor major Indian F&B Expos. Allow thousands of franchise owners to physically test zero-touch AI ordering live on the floor.

Scenario B: Digital Assault

Targeted LinkedIn/Meta campaigns showing side-by-side UI comparisons. Ensmbl vs. Clunky Legacy POS, driving immediate inbound demos.
