Fatores de risco

• CAC payback risk: break-even could slip beyond 7 months if acquisition costs rise
• Revenue concentration risk: $21,000 to $36,000 monthly revenue range may be volatile without multiple channels
• Churn risk: profit margin may compress if customer retention underperforms the assumptions behind $7,200 to $17,700 profit
• Funding/Runway risk: early-stage cash flow gaps can occur during the 3 to 7 month ramp period
• Market execution risk: “competitors nearby: 0” may reflect under-mapped demand or weak keyword competition rather than true absence

Plano de execução

1. Define a single ICP and wedge use-case, then build landing pages that match high-intent search queries
2. Implement an end-to-end growth funnel (lead capture, trial onboarding, activation, and sales/plan conversion)
3. Track retention and unit economics weekly (MRR, churn, CAC, LTV, payback) and iterate pricing or packaging early
4. Ship a small roadmap focused on activation milestones that drive recurring usage and reduce churn
5. Scale distribution using SEO + content for the wedge and one paid channel only after LTV:CAC targets are met
6. Automate onboarding and support with in-app guidance and templated customer success to protect profit as you grow
