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 × 35% depreciable share ÷ 24 months. It reduces modeled owner surplus and is added back to operating cash flow. Working-capital change = incremental variable cost × 3%.
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 local-service default reflecting portable equipment and modest working capital. No supplier quote, asset-life record or accounting policy is connected.

Licenses and operating requirements
- Washington State business registration
- Commercial liability insurance
- Customer contract and privacy terms
Primary failure factors
- Demand validation is skipped before fixed spending
- Customer acquisition takes longer than the model assumes
- Scope, liability or service quality is not controlled
CATEGORY-SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN
Interview ten local customers and verify background-check, insurance, scheduling and route constraints before fixed spending.
Run a paid appointment-based pilot in one service area and measure travel time, cancellations, repeat booking and incident handling.
Expand geography or staffing only after retention and route density support the local-service cost model.
