Modeled conservative and accelerated expansion scenarios.
Mapped capital and working-capital requirements.
Defined go and no-go criteria for each stage.
Outcomes
A clear, staged expansion plan.
Funding needs understood before commitments were made.
Shared assumptions the leadership team can revisit.
The result
A staged expansion roadmap with decision gates and clearly defined assumptions.
