within three years by focusing on labor efficiency and service mix Your initial variable cost structure is lean, starting at 268% of revenue, leaving a strong 732% contribution margin to cover fixed costs The primary challenge is scaling revenue fast enough to absorb the $10,550 monthly fixed overhead in 2026, which includes the Founder's salary Break-even is forecasted for October 2026 (10 months) The key lever is shifting customer allocation toward higher-priced, higher-margin contracts, specifically moving from 45% Residential Essential Green to 50% Residential Deep Green by 2030, while simultaneously dropping Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) from $150 to $95 This path defintely requires tight operational discipline\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
