The company will adopt a functional organisational structure designed for efficiency during the start-up phase, with clear accountability and lean management layers.

10.2 Staffing Plan

Headcount growth is directly linked to production ramp-up and geographic expansion milestones. The hiring plan ensures that critical production and quality roles are filled and trained before commercial launch, with sales and support functions scaling in proportion to revenue.
