As a crucial part of our strategic financial planning, we allocate a backup budget equivalent to 15% of the total monthly budget. This backup fund serves as a safeguard, allowing us to mitigate unforeseen risks that may arise during our production process, particularly in securing qualified personnel and addressing any unexpected expenses. The intent behind this backup fund is to ensure a consistent and smooth production flow. Our team will meticulously update the allocation and estimated monthly expenses, adhering to a transparent financial approach. Moreover, any remaining budget from this backup allocation will be utilized to produce additional videos, amplifying our output and maximizing the utilization of available resources

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Value Proposition:

Cost-Efficiency: The costs associated with our video production represent substantial value for the Cardano ecosystem. The investment is justified by the high-quality, informative, and engaging content tailored specifically for the Cardano community.

Justification of Costs:

Quality and Expertise: Our costs are reflective of the expertise and professionalism of our team members, who bring extensive experience in video production, scripting, design, and marketing. The value is not merely in the production itself but in the depth of research, meticulous planning, and the ability to present complex concepts in a simplified manner.

Supporting Evidence:

This is the market price for a video Whiteboard style with high-level animation. Whiteboard team can do the same quality for Cardano but with a low budget and marketing activities too.

Community Impact:

We've already developed our product and are devoted to consistently adding value to the community. Alongside creating educational videos, we've actively engaged in various Cardano community initiatives. Although we haven't secured any funding yet, we're committed to contributing our efforts to benefit the community, aiming to foster collaboration with more partners and create additional videos, making Cardano accessible to a wider audience.

My team and I are brimming with ideas, enthusiasm, and the drive to deliver our best in each project. We acknowledge the importance of continuous learning and refining our knowledge, mindset, and skills to enhance the quality of our endeavors.

The allocated funds will be wholly dedicated to video production, product marketing, and reinforcing Cardano's reputation. I've included all the budget details in this file for easy reference by everyone involved.
