Research baseline: one enclosed acoustic space per 10–15 knowledge workers. For a 40-person hybrid team with regular call activity, 3–4 pods in a mixed configuration is the starting baseline: 2 single/paired pods (HIGHKA Model S or M) for individual hybrid calls; 1–2 small group pods (HIGHKA Model L) for 2–4 person in-office groups joining shared hybrid calls. Monitor utilisation — peak-hour utilisation above 70% is the signal to add capacity. HIGHKA’s 1–4 hour assembly means additional pods can be deployed without construction delays.
