Questr Battle Plan
Tactical Deconstruction of Corporate Strategy: ROOST Pilot, Regional Expansion, and Direct Revenue Generation.
Priority 1: Foundation
Priority 2: Growth
Priority 3: Revenue
Strategic Overview
The Questr strategy is a tripartite approach designed to validate the technology through educational partnerships (ROOST), expand the footprint into high-value territories (California & The Region), and drive immediate cash flow through a direct sales engine. The following visualizations breakdown the tactical "Battle Plan" required to execute this vision over the next 12-14 months.

Launch ROOST & Apprenticeship
The Foundation Phase (Months 0-6)
The immediate priority is securing the operational pilot. This involves a heavy "braiding" of funds—combining NIFA grants, Workforce Board reimbursements, and EQIP funding—to minimize direct costs while establishing the training curriculum with EWVCTC.
Phase A: Formalization
MOUs with EWVCTC, DOL Registration, and County Alignment.
Phase B: Funding Braiding
NIFA Submission, WIOA Applications, and EQIP Stacking.
Phase C: Operational Launch
Recruit 3-5 Pilot Farms and the first 10-15 Apprentices.

Volume
Expansion is bifurcated into two distinct plays. West Coast efforts focus on high-tech validation and partnerships (The Reservoir) for specialty crops. Regional efforts (VA, NC, TN) target high-density poultry integrators like Perdue and Pilgrim's for rapid replication of the ROOST model.
California Tactics
- ✓ Finalize "The Reservoir" Partnership Pitch
- ✓ Scout Salinas for "Agronomy Suite" robotics
- ✓ Pitch West Coast AgTech Investors
Regional Tactics
- ✓ Map Major Integrators (Perdue/Pilgrim's)
- ✓ Establish "Lighthouse Farm" in Virginia

Direct Sales Engine
Path to $1.21M Revenue & Break-even
The revenue engine relies on converting the 429 Tier 1 farms in West Virginia while securing the initial capital runway. Success depends on specific hires (Account Executive) and launching the "Golden Cohort" campaign to drive early adoption through neighbor discounts and risk certification.
