Show formulas, assumptions and basis
Revenue = units × unit revenue. Variable cost = units × unit variable cost. Acquisition spend = modeled monthly new customers × acquisition cost per new customer.
Depreciation = startup cost × 34% depreciable share ÷ 36 months. It reduces modeled owner surplus and is added back to operating cash flow. Working-capital change = incremental variable cost × 8%.
Operating cash flow = modeled owner surplus + depreciation − working-capital change. The 18% tax reserve applies only when pre-tax surplus is positive.
Current assumption basis: Synthetic professional-service default reflecting lower equipment intensity and limited working capital. No software invoice, labor benchmark or accounting policy is connected.

CATEGORY-SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN
Interview ten decision-makers and audit their current workflow, budget owner, approval cycle and measurable switching trigger.
Sell one fixed-scope paid pilot with explicit review limits, data handling, acceptance criteria and change-request pricing.
Convert only validated work into a repeatable package or retainer after measuring sales cycle, revision load and delivery margin.
