revenue This high margin is driven by a strong 775% Contribution Margin (CM), where Allergen Test Kits and consumables only account for 15% of revenue The primary goal is scaling capacity utilization, which starts low (50%-65%) but must reach 80%-85% by 2030 to achieve the target 69% EBITDA margin We outline seven strategies focusing on optimizing staff mix, maximizing throughput, and controlling
