high-volume, low-margin Standard Rendering (90% of volume in 2026) toward higher-value services like Architectural Animation and 360 Panorama Tours Your initial focus should be on reaching the July 2026 break-even date and then aggressively lowering the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), which starts high at $2,500 in 2026 We detail seven specific strategies to increase your effective billable
