This is a good start but what I'm really looking for is a from scratch plan - that is to say, I actually have no idea where to start.
Ok, I know I could pull out of the air a figure for the target nr users that would probably tie up with the projections in the business plan, but that only serves to support the guesswork therein. It's not really based on real world experiences and I don't want to find i'm blowing my cash on AWS and not iteration.
For example hosting Pinterest is a vastly different animal than Dropbox. I suppose using that analogy my project is more like a Pinterest with a heavy db transaction side. I may not be looking at Pinterest growth curve (here's hoping of course) but there has to be a starting point.
