on 2026 projections, total fixed operating costs (including salaries) start around $25,533 per month Initial variable costs are high at 210% of revenue, leading to a target contribution margin of 790% By focusing on high-value retainers and reducing reliance on third-party contractors, you can push your EBITDA from $106,000 in Year 1 to over $2,082,000 by Year 3 The key is defintely shifting the service mix away from one-off projects like EVP Strategy (80% allocation in 2026) toward recurring Content Retainers (projected to reach 950% allocation by 2030) This model achieves breakeven in just
