Facteurs de risque

• Negative monthly profit risk (-$236) during low-demand periods
• Very wide break-even range (11 to 999 months) indicating weak predictability of cash flow
• Revenue sensitivity ($7,875 to $13,500) may not cover fixed studio costs consistently
• Limited local consumer purchasing power (GDP/capita $649) constrains pricing and class affordability

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand in Bukavu with a 2-4 week pre-sale campaign for class packs and intro trials
2. Launch with a tight class schedule (e.g., 2-3 levels + beginners) to maximize instructor utilization and occupancy
3. Set pricing and membership tiers tied to affordability, offering student/health-promotion discounts and monthly plans
4. Track weekly KPIs (leads, conversion, utilization rate, churn, and revenue per class) and adjust staffing within 30 days
5. Build local partnerships with clinics, gyms, hotels, and corporate wellness programs to secure consistent referrals
6. Reduce break-even uncertainty by securing 6-month upfront memberships or sponsorships before expanding equipment/classes
