I would deem ourselves a fairly large organization and I'm definitely 
Imagestream certified. I think that qualifies as beyond "start-up".

Many of our well established customers would take issue with being called 
"start-up"...  :-)

What I would like to get at this stage is not actual configuration for one-time 
project. I need some "rule-of-thumb" in order to apply it for all of my 
projects to get budget calculation.
For example, for projects with not more than 200 subscribers and 10 Mbps 
backhaul you advise to use configuration "Small". Then, for projects with up to 
1000 subscribers and 100 Mbps backhaul, you advise to use configuration 
"Medium". For every type of configuration I would like to know its technical 
characteristics and price.

Thank you in advance!
