Facteurs de risque

• Revenue volatility risk given the wide $21,000–$36,000 monthly range
• Customer churn risk could delay break-even beyond the 3–7 month target
• CAC-to-LTV mismatch risk if growth spends increase before profit $7,200–$17,700 stabilizes
• Cash-flow timing risk during early scaling while still nearing break-even

Plan d’exécution

3. Optimize onboarding and activation to improve retention and protect the 3–7 month break-even window
4. Implement conversion rate optimization on pricing/trial flows and add analytics-driven A/B testing
5. Forecast runway and break-even with scenario modeling (best/base/worst churn and CAC) and adjust spend accordingly
6. Scale customer success and in-product support to sustain monthly profit momentum ($7,200–$17,700)
