PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of uThrones is the purpose of the program - which is to sell every person & institution a set of uThrones Posture Furniture. To do so requires that people understand the value of posture and make the connection between the habits of modern life & the negative effects on the human body - then show how the uThrones are the postural antidote for mitigating pain & maximizing potential. One part is hiring craftsman to increase production w/ the expectation that once people start using the uThrones, especially for extended periods of time, they'll have become believers and will sustain sales growth by word-of-mouth and the experience-based evidence of their potential. Doing that well will require hiring additional craftsman & artists to update marketing, to manage uthrones.com/social media, to design product manuals/catalogues, etc. and to have supportive materials accessible from www.uThrones.com as needed to help customers get the most from their uThrones posture furniture system.

POPULATION DESCRIPTION
Every community of people will benefit from the uThrones Posture Furniture plan. Each person lives in the modern world and suffers the same stresses, thus the antidotes for re-balancing work irrespective of age, race, religion, gender, or economics. They may benefit by becoming employees who sell the system or those who help build the system.
PERFORMANCE MEASURING
In a word - Revenue. Performance will be measured in the number of posture furniture pieces produced, materials purchased, & the revenue generated by their sales. That can be measured by the number of phone calls & emails made by myself & newly-hired sales people, as well as by the analytics for viewings of a professional audio/visual commercial to be used on www.uthrones.com & social media platforms. The plan for us would be to open a new bank account, into which the awarded funds would be deposited. All new expenses would be drawn on the account, while the original Arvest business account would still be used for deposits. Bank statements, phone records, and a finished 3-5 minute commercial would be the easiest methods of determining the project's performance. That said, having generated enough sales, from w/in & outside of the state, that would require uThrones to pay income-tax would be another metric that wouldn't be hard to use.
