profitability, leading to a -$211,000 EBITDA loss in Year 1 The business hits breakeven by February 2027 (14 months) and achieves payback in 26 months To move from the initial 801% gross margin to a stable 85%+ contribution margin, you must aggressively shift the sales mix toward the Premium Heart Health Bundle and focus on retaining customers for longer than the initial 12-month average By 2030, the model forecasts revenue growth to $273 million, driven by increasing the average order value (AOV) from $6720 to $15498 and reducing CAC from $25 to $18 This path is defintely achievable with
