Analysis

Small Business Perspective

The Team Idaho initiative shows no consideration for small businesses under 20 employees. There is no mention of how this team might assist small businesses or startups. The Rapid Response Team appears to be designed exclusively for large-scale projects and investments, effectively excluding small businesses from this streamlined support system. An inclusive approach would have incorporated a dedicated support team or resources to help small businesses navigate regulatory processes and access government support.

Big Business Perspective

This initiative clearly caters to the needs of large corporations, offering streamlined processes and coordinated government support for major business projects. The Rapid Response Team provides a significant advantage to big businesses, helping them navigate regulatory processes and establish operations quickly. This level of coordinated government support gives large corporations a substantial edge in setting up or expanding operations in Idaho.
