Facteurs de risque

• Profit can be negative (-$595/month), suggesting weak unit economics at lower revenue levels
• Break-even range is extremely wide (17 to 999 months), implying unstable margins or churn
• Margin sensitivity to pricing and customer acquisition given revenue spread ($7,350–$12,600/month)
• Online-only execution can intensify paid acquisition dependency, increasing CAC risk without nearby competition data

Plan d’exécution

1. Tighten the subscription offer (box contents, cadence, and pricing) to target a positive contribution margin in the first 60 days
2. Model churn and repeat purchase rates to reduce break-even uncertainty; set targets for monthly retention and LTV/CAC
3. Launch with controlled paid spend and track CAC by cohort; scale only when cohorts show stable profitability
4. Optimize fulfillment and packaging costs (bundling, supplier renegotiation, automation) to protect the path from -$595 to +$980 margin
5. Add retention drivers (welcome-to-first-box upsell, seasonal editions, annual plan discounts) to shorten time-to-profit
6. Implement weekly KPI dashboards for cashflow, gross margin, churn, and cohort profitability
