I'd prefer to a small scope and request before further review.

big numbers without a good way to verify them... that kind of money will pay for 2 or 3 big shows attracting tens of thousand of our needed targets.

Necessary initiative, and their presence has been visible, and they have been improving their work. But I would prefer a half-yearly submission (quarterly may not provide enough runway for it, I understand), and I find the expenses for mentors, travel, and infrastructure maintenance a bit too high. I abstain, closer to nay.
