Trentham Padel Pack

Password-protected planning pack.

Turnkey venue pack · Stoke-on-Trent / Trentham · 7 August 2026

Six-court indoor padel venue — lean, unmanned-first operating blueprint

Thirteen documents, five costed Excel models and one integrated financial view, covering equipment vending, remote operations, statutory approvals, environmental obligations, hospitality, staffing and the SOP/training-video library — benchmarked against Your Padel Uttoxeter.

Verdict: the hybrid operating model is the only configuration financeable at plausible court-booking utilisation (34–62%) on sourced pricing; the traditional staffed model needs 66–120% utilisation and fails the arithmetic test. Court-booking demand itself was never modelled with real evidence — live competitor slot-sampling is the critical next step, not further planning.

Document library

Start with 00 for the verdict, then 10 for the money. Reconstructed tail = Manus's own output, restored from its research notes after the live document was cut off mid-sentence. Built post-Manus = written after the session ran out of credits, using only Manus's validated data underneath.

Costed Excel models

Formula-driven workbooks — blue cells are sourced inputs with a citation comment, green cells are calculated outputs.

Provenance

Where this came from

Researched by Manus AI on 7 August 2026 over a ~3-hour session that ran out of credits mid-way through building the master financial model. Recovered in full via Manus's session API (not just the visible replay) and continued in Claude Code: four documents had their truncated endings restored from Manus's own validated research notes; the SOP/training-video library, launch roadmap, executive summary and integrated financial model were built fresh on top of the validated data, following the explicit gaps the original session flagged before it stopped. No figure anywhere in this pack was invented — every number traces to a cited primary source, a validated workbook, or is explicitly flagged as an open item requiring a quotation.
