The research-supported baseline is one enclosed acoustic space per 10–15 knowledge workers. For a 40-person team, 3–4 pods in a mixed configuration is the minimum meaningful deployment: 2 single/paired pods (Model S or M) for individual focus work and private calls, and 1–2 small meeting pods (Model L) for 2–4 person discussions. Deploy at this baseline, monitor utilisation for 60 days, and expand when average peak-hour utilisation exceeds 70%. HIGHKA’s 1–4 hour assembly means capacity expansion does not require construction planning.
