Industry guidance suggests one acoustic focus or call space per 6–12 knowledge workers as a baseline. For a 30-person team, that suggests 2–5 single-person pods, depending on the nature of the work and the proportion of the team that regularly requires focus or private call time. Usage data from the first 60–90 days after initial deployment typically reveals the true demand and allows the deployment to be scaled accordingly. Starting with 2–3 Model S or Model M pods and adding based on utilisation data is the most common approach.
