Ok... thats a lot of money... I'm not from Europe, or even USA so I can't
really tell how much is needed, I don't know how much gain a developer for
this kind of project... or if that is the exact math to do the calc.... but
again... reduce it to 2 people (or one) and 2 months = 45,000 a more
reachable approach... that hypothetically spiking that cost 100 euros per
hour...

I'm not saying that this would solve the problems... but it should help a
little, and again there is not much to lose doing this. But is just a simple
suggestion, there should be better way to proceed.
