On this page we endeavor to represent our business plan. As we develop this, you may see the various elements appear here:
Lets talk about our friend Mason's excellent analogy of a fire suppression system. A good fire suppression system was not present in all building codes, in the early 1900's. The thought being, "Who in their right mind would start a fire in a building? Besides, if the worst happens, we have insurance."
The problem was, we had the technology; what we didn't have was the best-of-the-best leading our country in preventing people from burning to death in buildings made of flammable material. ln 1853, the first fire engine was tested. (Cincinnati, OH) In 1857, the first automatic fire alarm was patented. Yet, in Chicago, the fiery tragedy known as the Iroquois Theatre fire, which killed 602 people, could have been prevented. It wasn't until after the shirt factory fire in Manhattan happened in 1911, that the City of New York established the country's first "fire prevention bureau".
The purpose of this business plan is to establish a "fire prevention bureau" (of sorts) for our modern world.
This business plan presumes the same value proposition. Only PRIMME, is a group of thought-leaders with a determination to prevent mass murder, instead of mass death by fire. This business plan shows how existing systems, when used by capable responsible organizations, are very likely to prevent mass casualty events like Las Vegas, the Pulse Night Club, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary, etc.
The world is in great need of reliable rapidly involved mass murder event prevention solutions. To underscore this fact, today, in North America, 9 Toronto, Canada citizens were run down by a person driving a Ryder Truck. Yesterday, in Tennessee, a man gunned down 4 people inside of a restaurant. Both suspects are now in custody. More and more people are angry about this phenomena and the time is now. Not five years from now, or let the underwriters handle it; the time is now.
Why us? Because we are here doing something about a solution. No other reason.
Here is the math in a clinical sense:
Now compare this number against the number of dollars invested in airline security, over the same period.
Prior to 2000, less than $1B was being spent, per year, in the United States, to guard against the unthinkable. Since 2000, the cost has gone up to around $8B a year, in the United States. Think about it. We are spending 8 billion dollars a year to prevent the likelihood someone more easily imagines themselves failing at hijacking an aircraft, than succeeding.
Compare this, to the number of mass casualty incidents since 2000, and the amount of money we spend to ensure someone doesn't hijack a school bus or a classroom. Right now, we are on the cusp of an awakening. The country will stand with the team who can build a provable "fire prevention" system.
There are 26,407 high schools in the United States. In addition, there are 10,693 private high schools. Of these existing schools, even if we only deliver our solution to 1% of public high schools, we deploy to 264 schools in the first two years. Which is more than enough to get our program off the ground. Let us show you how.
This project is to produce intellectual property, which we offer in turn be used to improve public safety at schools in the United States. Which, eventually could be used to produce safer public gathering places of all types.
This project, with everyone's help, ventures to hire a "dream team" initially do some research. The goal of that research furthers the gathering of needful data; then synthesises the data; then uses that data to produce a concise, defensible, authoritative, definition of the problem set.
Why define the problem? Seems pretty obvious. No more dead kids. Right? - No.
Part of defining the problem, is to identify more than the bad actor and the behavior we don't want. For example, we also need to identify and classify the barriers that prevent communities from implementing even the most rudimentary safe-guards. Another example, we need to identify systemic flaws in enforcement protocols within systems already put in place.
Our design philosophy is going to be wholistic. At the start, nothing is off the table. We start from the center and work our way out. Several key aspects of the design are expected to emerge. (Not in any particular order.)
The alpha and beta builds are expected to consist of several key elements.
Alpha Build White-box Testing
Beta Build | Black and White Box Testing
Package and sell products to the customer categories listed in the deployment section:
The project journeys to determine the best way to run a deployment. Here are the major customer categories: (In order of priority.)
The project then structures itself in such a way that the first stage funds each subsequent stage through sales:
Provide oversight and promote the project in a meaningful way. Messaging. Strategic alliances. Barrier busting. Door opening. Insight. Accountability.
The strategy behind staffing the core team with highly paid innovative thought leaders in each category is to come up with a incentivized group of people, likely to make a difference on this important topic. This is one of those societal issues that deserves a "spare no expense on meaningful stuff" approach. We strive to avoid being wasteful; rather leveraging our resources to produce significant impact.
These key people contribute by endeavouring to provide leadership and accountability on delivery, within the core, and deliver project status to the board.
Raise money by any and all legal, ethical and moral means necessary, once the core team is assembled. The following is a source list:
Funding Window: 5/1/2018 to 12/31/2018
$4.25M From 1/1/2020 to 7/9/2020 (*Life of project.)
$1M to pay the core team*
$3.25M to the support activities.*
In good conscience, we should agree that this project should NOT START, until we are fully funded.
We are strongest and stand to be the most successful if we avoid borrowing entirely.
Independence is our value; if we avoid selling a controlling interest in the products we produce.
All revenue generated in the first stage should go towards furthering a second and third stage of the project.
