Facteurs de risque

• Break-even compression risk if revenue misses the $189,000 monthly floor
• Lower-than-expected member spend given low GDP/capita of $1,830
• Demand volatility in Bamenda could delay full occupancy and extend the 3–5 month timeline
• Competitive pressure, even with only 1 nearby competitor, could force price discounts and reduce $51,150–$98,400 profit
