The scenarios

 There are many ways we could define these stages. From a staff perspective, we could identify several:
-===One staff person===
+===One (volunteer) staff person===
 We didn't know if we were a viable organization and were trying to see if we could could become somewhat viable before our seed money ran out. The ASS group and the education group formed. During this stage, the public "discovered" us and as a result the adoption program overfilled. We had to set up a waiting list in order to manage the volunteer schedule. As the waiting list grew longer, it became impossible to manage all the volunteers with just one (or even two) paid staff members, so we expanded.
 * Adoption -- The adoption program was formed. There was no standard FreekBox, however and we learned that we needed to standardize this.
