• Local demand sensitivity given GDP/capita of $10,311, which may cap willingness to pay for premium offerings
• Competitive intensity risk with 500 nearby competitors, increasing customer acquisition costs and discounting pressure
• Capacity utilization risk if classroom/teacher scheduling isn’t optimized to sustain $54,000 peak revenue
