Plain Finance, with its investor-centric and community-driven focus, necessitates dedicated involvement from our team to advance the technology, brand, and community engagement. Here's an overview of our detailed expenditure plan:

Personnel Expenses ($98,000): Our core team comprises four full-time members, working over a four-month period to launch an MVP and achieve our initial milestone of tokenising and selling a property. This team includes a Project/Research Lead at $7,500 per month, a Senior Software/Blockchain/ZK Engineer at $6,000 per month, a Frontend Engineer at $4,000 per month, and a Marketing & Community Lead at $7,000 per month.

Technical Infrastructure ($4,800): This budget covers the costs for both Production and Development environments crucial for our ZK Prover and Transparency Network, alongside AI-powered document data extraction services, with potential candidates being AWS Textract or Google Document AI.

Marketing Initiatives ($20,000): To foster growth and community engagement, we're allocating funds for guerrilla marketing tactics, seeding of discord and social platforms, influencer partnerships, ambassador management, and bounty programs.

Legal Framework ($7,000): Financing new legal documentation is critical for aligning the governance of off-chain custodial entities with on-chain investor engagement. This includes drafting the custodial entity’s constitution and shareholder agreements, ensuring that on-chain governance proposals guide significant decisions.

The total projected cost stands at $129,800, aimed at setting a solid foundation for Plain Finance to flourish as a key player in real-estate tokenisation on the blockchain.
