This is a lean but premium production model. Travel is a major cost driver in
Wyoming-based storytelling and includes crew travel, lodging, per diem, and logistics,
with room to allocate funds for specialty rental gear when story needs require it.
Full-scale episodes with expanded travel and production scope are estimated toward the
upper end of the range.
Scope can be adjusted to meet different budget levels, episode count can scale up or
down, and final budget is refined during the contract phase after approval.
