Why Only Three States in Year One
Intentional scope. Long-term thinking.
Uplift Year One is intentionally limited. The goal is to successfully prove one complete Tri-State system before any expansion. No city titles. No regional level. No nationwide expansion. Future expansion will happen only after the Gulf Coast model is established and stable.
