6. Project Team and Management Plan

I. Project Leadership (The Founder)

The Project Founder is responsible for the artistic vision, community engagement, and securing the necessary capital and fiscal sponsorship. The structure immediately mitigates risk by prioritizing the hiring of professional, external oversight.

II. Hired Professional Team (Funded by $150,000 Seed Capital)

The initial $150,000 seed fund is strategically allocated to hire the three external professional roles essential for project success and risk management:

Consulting Project Manager ($35,000)

Function: Project Execution & Schedule Control. Acts as the owner’s representative, handling contractor oversight, quality control, and schedule management.

Licensed Structural Engineer ($35,000)

Function: Technical Liability & Design. Signs off on the Octave FiberForm dome design and ensures compliance with all local building codes and secures stamped drawings.

Permitting and Legal Oversight ($45,000)

Function: Regulatory Compliance & Agreement Finalization. Funds specialized legal and administrative work required for using public land and securing all necessary permits.

Operational Runway ($35,000)

Function: Contingency Reserve & Launch Administration. This fund is explicitly set aside to cover initial fiscal sponsor administrative fees, insurance, and unexpected costs arising from the Project Founder's relative inexperience in construction management.
