projections show a 27-month path to break-even (March 2028) on $332,000 revenue in Year 1 To shorten this timeline and improve profitability, you must shift the service mix toward high-margin offerings like Performance Optimization ($225\/hour) and aggressively manage your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), which starts high at $480 Your current contribution margin is strong, near 695% in 2026, but high fixed overhead consumes it entirely This guide details seven strategies to improve capacity utilization and increase revenue per active customer from the current 28 billable
