How the model works and what it leaves out

Both models acquire one cohort at the start. No new cohorts, taxes, financing, fixed overhead, expansion revenue or changes in price are included. Fractional customers are expected values, not actual people. Payback uses month-end contribution and does not model collection delays, inventory commitments or bank balances. This is a scenario estimate, not a forecast or an affordability assessment.
