typical service businesses, by controlling instructor fees and maximizing occupancy Your current model shows a robust 766% EBITDA margin in 2026 on $19005 million in revenue, achieving break-even in just one month The primary financial lever is increasing the occupancy rate from the initial 450% toward the target 850% by 2030 Variable costs are low, hovering around 22% of revenue, meaning every dollar of increased pricing or utilization drops 78 cents straight to the gross profit line We defintely focus on optimizing pricing tiers and reducing the 120% instructor session fees to push margins
