What would have to be true

  • Reach ~80% of mature monthly revenue ($240K) by Month 7.
  • Hold cannibalization from the hub at or below 15%.
  • Sustain 65% gross margin — protect specialty mix at 40% of revenue.
  • Keep monthly fixed cost at or below $90K — every added FTE moves break-even by ~1.2 days.
  • Hit cumulative cash break-even by Month 26 — track monthly variance starting Month 1.
