Organization health, capacity and hiring
A core team of 35 people across creative strategy, design, animation and production, plus partner-studio and freelance capacity that flexes with demand. Bookings come from the resource planner. The directory has everyone's profile and development goals.
Hire, flex or rebalance
Load by discipline across the next 8 weeks, and what that pattern calls for. A sustained gap left unhired shows up as burnout and rework; a short peak covered with headcount shows up as bench cost. Each discipline lead owns the call for their team.

Who is overloaded, and for how long
Weeks over 105% booked, across the next 8. A week or two is a spike; most of the eight is a well-being risk, so the lead agrees relief with each person.

Room to redeploy
Under 70% booked for the next 4 weeks. Spare time goes to development goals and cross-training first, then to rebalancing.
Around-the-clock workflow
Working hours in Denver time. Together the teams cover 23 of 24 hours, so work hands off and keeps moving.
Flexible capacity
Freelance and 10 people in international partner studios, for peaks and follow-the-sun work. They extend the core team rather than replace it: work routes through a core-team lead who owns the brief and the quality bar.
