However, the real financial pressure comes from overhead: your total full-time equivalents (FTEs) are set to double from 35 to 70 by 2030, meaning fixed labor costs will eat margin fast. To maintain stability, you need a minimum GM% of \u003cstrong\u003e55%\u003c\/strong\u003e to absorb that labor inflation, so focus on driving sales of the higher-priced kits.
