Could you explain how and why this is a marginal funding request—something that is on the bubble of being funded or not, such that you anticipate that receiving $10,000 (or not) would be the difference between funding this work and not? For example, is your other funding heavily earmarked, or do you believe that the items in your already-committed-to-fund-this budget have even higher cost-effectiveness?
Thanks for the very reasonable question. In short, our current budget for the next financial year (through to June 2026) is currently earmarked to existing programmatic obligations. Additional marginal funding would allow us to bring in support to start building out this solution and we would leverage existing team members for the on-ground validation exercises.
