forecast shows a 38-month timeline to break-even (February 2029) and a low 148% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) To accelerate payback, you must focus on increasing the Average Order Value (AOV) and boosting Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) By optimizing the product mix to favor high-ticket items like the Back to Work Kit (priced at $85) and extending the repeat customer lifetime from 6 months to 12 months by 2030, you can defintely shift the EBITDA timeline forward by 12-18 months The primary lever is operational efficiency and maximizing repeat purchases, moving the business toward a positive EBITDA of $208 million by 2030\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
