1) All Product Launch Options were considered...
2) A Professional's Only launch with options to become VARs, Distributors, 'Real' Educators, Tutors and Guides is the way forward...
We need talented and interested professionals in the Accounting, Financial Services, Education and Technology fields with sound accounting background, basic Google Sheets/Drive understanding, and unique positions or perspectives who are willing to invest a little money and a little time to become the support base that will be needed for a far broader infusion in coming months and years.
3) To be very clear from the get go. The end goal is suggestion based licensing and open access to this software for all who wish to use it for their own small businesses and personal education needs, but all in good time...
4) The reason for this Professionals Only roll-out is simple. Righteous Reputation Protection.
It has become apparent that to properly protect it's reputation from long standing media trolls who simply won't quit, even in the throws of defeat, a very large and professional user base will be required to protect the reputation of a new breed of software.
The Professional Support base will be built semi-publicly, and the information will then flow out as individuals in the user base deem fit.
