This is a good point. They pulled together the team long before the 2020 election. I suspect this is just one of the things Q was referring to when stating that everything was in place, and that the drops beginning in Oct 2017 were the start of the public campaign. They had already hired the the core team and were most likely vetting the rest of the team they needed for the leg work of processing ballots.

I only just watched a Florida-based cyber security firm with no prior auditing experience march right into Arizona and pull off the most meticulous forensic election audit in history.
