Ghana HQ studio is the only physical hub today · ~7 studio assets tracked in Asset Register · Bernard (HoP HQ) handles Q2-level decisions · Frank handles facilities cost. Regional studio hubs don't exist yet — Studio Ops becomes a real dept the day JEMA opens a 2nd physical studio. Cincinnati, Toronto, London are the likeliest candidates based on booking density.
