subscription model and low fulfillment costs relative to revenue However, high fixed overhead, primarily wages ($82,917\/month) and technology, requires rapid customer scaling to hit profitability You need about 11,100 paying customers to cover the initial $100,917 monthly fixed costs and reach break-even within 10 months The core profitability lever is shifting customer mix from the Basic Plan (60% in 2026) toward the Premium Plan (20% by 2030) to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
