Assumptions baked in
- SMV launch fee is charged Year 1 only. SMV monthly recurs every year.
- Show-rate haircut applies to tuition only — supplies/marketing scale with enrolled students (worst case).
- Year 2 + 3 use the same cohort cadence and tuition as Year 1 (no inflation, no price increases).
- Payback is calculated on Year 1 monthly cash contribution after launch fee. If profit is negative, payback is shown as "—".
- Taxes are not modeled. Net = pre-tax operating profit.
