Facteurs de risque

• Revenue variability: $25,200–$43,200 range may stress cash flow despite profitability at $11,144–$24,104
• Break-even window dependence: profitability is achievable in 3–5 months, but delays in enrollment could extend runway
• Local purchasing power risk: GDP/capita of $649 may cap pricing power and require careful membership tiering
• Single-site operational risk: brick-and-mortar overhead in Kinshasa could magnify fixed-cost shocks if attendance fluctuates
• No nearby competitors (0) cuts both ways: low demand awareness could slow initial membership growth

Plan d’exécution

1. Secure an accessible Kinshasa location and finalize lease terms aligned with a 3–5 month break-even target
2. Launch with pre-sale founders memberships and tiered plans priced for affordability around $649 GDP/capita
3. Open with a structured beginner-to-competitive onboarding program (intro sessions, fundamentals classes, monthly challenges)
4. Invest in CrossFit-grade equipment and safety staffing/training to protect retention and drive word-of-mouth referrals
5. Implement a weekly retention engine: attendance tracking, follow-ups, and member success milestones to sustain revenue toward the $25,200–$43,200 band
6. Monitor unit economics monthly (CAC, churn, class occupancy) and adjust capacity/pricing within the first 60–90 days
