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 × 18% depreciable share ÷ 24 months. It reduces modeled owner surplus and is added back to operating cash flow. Working-capital change = incremental variable cost × 2%.
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.

CATEGORY-SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN
Interview prospective learners about sleep-education needs and verify the non-medical scope, referral boundaries and informed-consent language.
Run a small paid cohort and record attendance, completion, continuation, satisfaction and every case that requires referral to a licensed clinician.
Review acquisition cost, course retention, facilitator capacity and referral safeguards before expanding cohorts or marketing claims.
