and controlling professional compensation, you can realistically target an operating margin above 20% by Year 2 Initial variable costs are high at 305% in 2026 (240% COGS plus 65% variable OpEx), but planned efficiencies drop this to 200% by 2030 Achieving breakeven in 8 months (August 2026) is fast, but requires strict control over the $690,100 annual fixed overhead and managing a high initial Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) of $2,400 The main lever is shifting 45% of clients from Basic to Premium\/Executive packages by 2030\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
