I'm not an investor in this and I want to believe you are doing the right thing and giving this stake your best effort and judgement but a couple of things to note:
Like the above poster stated, you said you would be grinding the lower stakes:

I will be grinding the lower games which I absolutely kill to help offset any variance I should encounter at the mid staked games.
Yet you haven't played a single hand of 3/6 yet and limited at 4/8 according to PTR. If you feel you can crush the lower limits (which I'm sure you can) then you should be crushing there and moving up when BRM calls for it. The variance at 10/20 - 20/40 can be heavy, and you certainly shouldn't be starting there.
I was hesitant on buying (I posted in OP as I was interested) And I didn't want to derail your MP OP but since this is now a go and in motion I will say I honestly don't feel the 10K is a proper roll for you to be playing 15/30 and 20/40. Of course, if you beat it up at 3-6 -- 10/20 and moved up within the stake thats a different story, but it seems you are starting at 10/20 and above, with limited hands being played at 4/8 and 5/10 and 0 at 3/6.
More than 50% of the 10K roll is gone and you haven't grinded any of the lower stake games which you "crush" so IMO I would advise stepping down in stakes and beating the lower limit games and moving up which you should have done to begin with. This is advice, I'm not trolling. I want to see you crush this stake and turn a profit man, GL with this.
