ESTIMATED BUDGET
Planning estimate: US$45,000–$75,000 for the 16-week
market-validation and pilot-readiness scope described above. This assumes one
target market, a small number of pilot demonstrations, and no major equipment
purchases. Actual costs depend on location, travel, pilot scale, and local
partner rates.
