I don't think the math implies that it's a single person 5 days a week for a year, in a staff augmentation fashion. It could be e.g. 2 people for a month, then nobody, then 3 people, all at different rates.

Why would you do this? Examples:

* a team to write the Android port(s)

* a Web design team

* QA

* HR

* Legal ($$$$$)

* etc.

All of these will be at different rates. You might outsource parts of the technology to hit your other growth goals.
