wages—starts high at nearly $19,000 per month in 2026 This means scaling visitor traffic and conversion is critical to hitting the break-even point, which is projected to take 26 months (February 2028) Focusing on increasing the conversion rate from 80% to 110% (by 2028) and driving repeat purchases (up to 32% of new customers) are the fastest levers to achieve positive cash
