The Financial Lever

You are managing fixed overhead well, but profitability hinges on efficiency. In 2026, your total variable costs (COGS and OpEx) are projected at 25% of revenue, leaving a 75% contribution margin. With an estimated $613,200 in fixed annual overhead (salaries plus fixed expenses), you need roughly $817,600 in revenue to break even, confirming why the current forecast shows a loss of $324,000 and requires 22 months of growth to hit positive EBITDA.

• Target CAC is $4,500 in 2026.
• Average billable hours start at 22.5/month.
• Need $817.6k revenue for 2026 break-even.
