Facteurs de risque

• Revenue volatility risk: range of $25,200–$43,200 could delay break-even beyond 5 months
• Occupancy/membership churn risk impacting profits: profit range $11,144–$24,104 suggests sensitivity to retention
• Competitive pressure risk: 35 nearby competitors may force stronger promotions and price concessions
• Demand seasonality risk in Lausanne could reduce class attendance and revenue during slower months

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand with a local pre-sale campaign and partnership outreach to nearby offices and universities in Lausanne
2. Design an opening offer (founding memberships + intro month) to quickly hit the break-even volume within 3–5 months
3. Optimize class capacity and staffing by scheduling staggered beginner, intermediate, and Open Gym blocks to stabilize attendance
4. Invest in search-focused local SEO pages (Lausanne, CrossFit box, beginner programs) and capture leads via trial bookings
5. Implement retention systems: onboarding assessment, monthly goal check-ins, and auto-renewal incentives for 3–6 month commitment
6. Track unit economics weekly (revenue per class, attendance rate, churn, CAC) and adjust marketing spend if projections slip
