Here's my take on "soft start" vs. "hard start", and i'll use Google as my example.

Just recently, Google shed the "beta" tags from most of their applications that we have been using for years (gmail, calendar, docs, apps, etc). http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/07/07/gmail_apps_google_beta_removed/
This company's pps went through the roof in that time! They were able to stay nimble and agile with their products, changing them on people and trying new things since in "beta" or "soft start" mode, they can. According to this article, it looks like they had to remove the "beta" tag to be considered by large firms looking to use all online product suites.

With CPRK, it's different, but not really. They are using the soft start to iron out bottlenecks, flaws, equipment, processes, etc to achieve the most profitable concentrate producing process. I feel investors would be discouraged if they claimed a "hard start" and weren't able to produce saleable concentrate in a timely manner. This soft start will continue until they feel everything is "perfect".

I would tell all shareholders that as soon as regular shipments are reported, you can consider that the end of the soft start regardless of whether they announce it or not. Google had to or never would have. It gives your business model more flexibility if you can get away with it. Google was able to rope in billions of customers and have a fairly flawless "beta" running at the same time...amazing! CPRK doesn't have this luxury since it's not software, but they'll remove the label when the time is right. Probably when LT is achieved.

Hope this helps,
