Your model shows an initial EBITDA margin of nearly 58% in 2026, quickly rising to over 82% by 2030, driven by high revenue growth ($1138 million to $18872 million) The primary financial goal is moving occupancy from the starting 45% (2026) toward the target 90% (2030) while managing instructor expansion You broke even in month one (January 2026), so the lever is maximizing revenue per hour and optimizing the product mix toward higher-value courses like Advanced Defensive Shooting ($450 price point) Focus on efficiency gains to maintain contribution margin above 805% as you
