Facteurs de risque

• Profit volatility (from -$172 to $3,848) tied to enrollment and pricing swings
• Very wide break-even range (8 to 999 months), indicating unstable cash-flow and occupancy risk
• Revenue dependence on reaching the upper band ($14,400) to avoid losses
• Competitive pressure with 7 nearby competitors reducing margins and student intake
• Low local wealth indicator (GDP/capita $219) may cap willingness-to-pay for premium tutoring

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand in Gitega by running paid placement tests and surveying 200+ families on subjects, schedules, and pricing
2. Design tiered packages (exam-focused, weekly tutoring, and full-term plans) to stabilize revenue within the $8,400–$14,400 band
3. Target Grade-specific bottlenecks (e.g., national exam years) and recruit qualified local tutors to differentiate from the 7 competitors
4. Implement strict capacity and scheduling controls (class sizes, utilization targets) to reduce the chance of extending break-even toward the 999-month extreme
5. Launch retention programs (progress reports, parent check-ins, referral incentives) to improve repeat enrollment and cash predictability
6. Track weekly KPIs (leads, conversion rate, attendance, average revenue per student) and adjust pricing/offers monthly based on early cohorts
