.4 Milestones and Gates
The following milestone and gate structure is a general sketch is not subject to detailled time schedules. It is however, a good orientation of how we will proceed in the future. Milestones are important steps and goals within the regarded time horizon. Gates indicate boundaries between time periods.

.4.1 Short-Term
Milestones
* Establish regular corp mining operations in High-Sec
* Establish a production chain for the production of Harbringers
* Recruit more industrial pilots to build a baseline from which we can proceed.
* Start researching BPOs via POS access with a friendly corp.

Gates
* Reach a roster size of about 40-50 pilots.
* Enough members are able to fly exhumers and/or T2 combat ships for protection.
* First experience with mining ops in dangerous terretory is obtained.

.4.2 Mid-Term
Milestones
* Obtain more BPOs and expand production portfolio.
* Establish regular lowsec and/or WH mining expeditions.
* Expand to the size of a "Megacorp" (50+ members)

Gates
* Corporation bankroll is able to support a POS and is able to compensate for a (potential) loss of it.
* Outline of a precise plan for the establishment of a POS in either high sec or nullsec and either by ourselves or within an alliance.

.4.3 Long-Term
Milestones
* Make full use of our access to a POS via production and research.
* Full launch of DENIN Services in order to expand our business to consultation.
* Outline a concept for future steps (for example, settlement in nullsec, expansion in high sec etc)

Are you accepting applications to join your corp for characters, or are you strictly looking for business partners in corps? I am potentially interested in both.

You literally look like a shady person

* Last months industrial throughput did not live up to my expectations. This is due to the fact that a) our in-house mining ops are not sufficiant to fuel our production at a scale we'd like it to, and b) that me and the COO did not have the time to look deeply look into production opportunities that provide an adequate profit, even when minerals are obtained on the market.

now think what you just wrote there.

I have been contacted by some potential Investors and asked an audit for a possible IPO by Vadane.

This has been refreshing, finally an investment where it's Investors who act like in RL and don't place the audit "burden" on the Investee shoulders!

I am still at the (API part) beginning of the research, so far he looks like he can do what he says. The operation is small though, it'd be mostly a "startup" more than a many digits, blasoned IPO.

So who was it?
Does VV have a list of alts?

We have a list of alts and I'll keep monitoring them. I have already warned the CEO of a new corp the griefer was joining in. Fun fact: He tried to get into higher ranks with a similar strategy (providing extensive market research and knowledge). The griefer once told me his father was a Wall Street banker so he'd know stuff. ;) Turns out the corp is now closed anyway...

I'd rather not give out any alts because
a) There is no guarantee that the background check provides real alts and I'd like to keep away from ill-founded public humiliation.
b) In case the alts are true, I'd rather have the griefer not knowing how much we know about him.

I think VV will agree with this.
