Part I: The Broken Economics of Traditional AI

Chapter 1: The AI Economic Crisis

The Unsustainable Cost Structure

Current State of AI Economics (2026):

World-Class AI Development Costs:

Initial Development:
- Research team (50-200 PhDs): $20M-$100M/year
- Compute resources (training): $50M-$400M one-time
- Data acquisition and labeling: $10M-$50M
- Infrastructure and tools: $5M-$20M
Total Initial: $85M-$570M

Ongoing Costs:
- Serving infrastructure: $10M-$100M/year
- Team maintenance: $20M-$100M/year
- Model updates: $50M-$200M/year
- Operations and support: $5M-$30M/year
Total Annual: $85M-$430M/year

Total 3-Year Cost: $340M-$1.86B

The Sustainability Problem:

Only organizations with massive capital can develop cutting-edge AI:
- Large tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon)
- Well-funded startups (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere)
- Government-backed initiatives

Everyone else:
- Locked out of development
- Dependent on APIs and services
- Subject to pricing and access changes
- No control over capabilities

Real-World Examples:

GPT-4 Development (OpenAI):
Estimated cost: $100M-$500M
Funding required: Billions in total investment
Time to profitability: Years (uncertain)

Claude Development (Anthropic):
Estimated cost: $100M+ per major version
Funding: $7B+ total raised
Revenue model: Subscription + API (still seeking profitability)

Industry Pattern:
- Massive capital requirements
- Long development cycles
- Uncertain profitability timelines
- Dependency on continued funding

Revenue Model Misalignment

Traditional AI Revenue Models:

Model 1: Subscription (SaaS)

Structure:
- User pays $X/month for access
- Fixed price regardless of value received
- Flat revenue per user

Economics:
Revenue per user: $20-$200/month
Maximum annual revenue per user: $240-$2,400
User acquisition cost: $100-$500
Payback period: 6-24 months

Problems:
✗ Price ceiling limits revenue
✗ Value delivered varies widely but price doesn't
✗ High-value users subsidize low-value users
✗ No direct link between AI quality and revenue
✗ Churn is constant challenge
✗ Acquisition costs eat margins

Example Economics:

AI Chatbot Subscription Service:

Price: $20/month
1M subscribers = $20M/month = $240M/year

Costs:
- Serving: $60M/year
- Development: $100M/year
- Sales & Marketing: $50M/year
- Operations: $30M/year
Total: $240M/year

Profit: $0
Break-even at best

To be profitable:
Need 2M+ subscribers or higher prices
But higher prices reduce addressable market

Model 2: API Pricing (Pay-Per-Use)

Structure:
- Charge per API call or token
- Variable pricing based on model size
- Volume discounts for large customers

Economics:
Price per token: $0.000001-$0.00002
Revenue per 1M tokens: $1-$20
Cost to serve 1M tokens: $0.50-$15

Margins: 5-75% (highly variable)

Problems:
✗ Commoditization pressure (race to bottom)
✗ Large customers demand discounts
✗ Unpredictable revenue (usage varies)
✗ Competing on price not value
✗ No customer lock-in
✗ Easy to switch providers

Example Economics:

API-Based AI Service:

Average revenue per customer: $500/month
1,000 enterprise customers = $6M/year

Costs:
- Infrastructure: $2M/year
- Development: $15M/year
- Support: $3M/year
Total: $20M/year

Loss: -$14M/year

To break even:
Need 3,300+ customers
Constant sales pressure
Perpetual fundraising requirement

Model 3: Advertising (Attention Economy)

Structure:
- Free service to users
- Revenue from showing ads
- Optimize for engagement/attention

Economics:
Revenue per user per year: $20-$200 (varies by engagement)
Cost to acquire user: $5-$50
Cost to serve user: $2-$20/year

Margins: 50-80% at scale

Problems:
✗ Incentive misalignment (engagement ≠ value)
✗ User experience degradation
✗ Privacy concerns
✗ Ad blocking reduces revenue
✗ Advertiser dependency
✗ Race to addictive features

The Fundamental Problem:

None of these models align:
1. Value delivered to users
2. Revenue generated
3. Cost of AI improvement

Result:
- AI quality disconnected from revenue
- Sustainable development funding uncertain
- Misaligned incentives (quantity over quality)
- Economic pressures compromise user value

Chapter 2: The Retraining Economics Trap

Why Static Models Cost More Over Time

The Decay Curve:

AI Model Performance Over Time (Without Retraining):

Month 0:  95% accuracy (deployment)
Month 6:  87% accuracy (slow decay)
Month 12: 76% accuracy (noticeable decline)
Month 18: 64% accuracy (significant issues)
Month 24: 52% accuracy (below acceptable)
Month 30: 41% accuracy (critical failure)

Decay Rate: ~2-5% per month
Half-life: ~15-20 months

Why Decay Happens:

1. World Changes:
   - Facts become outdated
   - New products/services emerge
   - Businesses close or relocate
   - Trends shift
   - Language evolves

2. Distribution Shift:
   - User behavior changes
   - Market conditions evolve
   - Seasonal patterns shift
   - Demographics change

3. Concept Drift:
   - What "good" means changes
   - User expectations rise
   - Competition improves
   - Standards evolve

The Retraining Requirement:

To maintain performance, AI must be retrained:

Frequency Required: Every 6-12 months
Cost Per Retraining: $50M-$400M
Annual Retraining Cost: $100M-$800M

This is economically crushing for most organizations

Real-World Retraining Economics

Case Study: Language Model Updates

Large Language Model (GPT-3 class):

Initial Training (2020):
Cost: ~$5M-$10M
Performance: State-of-the-art
Market position: Leader

18 Months Later (2021):
Performance: Declining (outdated knowledge)
Competition: New models emerging
User complaints: Increasing
Action required: Retrain

Retraining (2022):
Cost: ~$50M (10× initial cost due to scale)
Time: 3-6 months
Risk: May perform worse in some areas
Result: Back to competitive (temporarily)

Problem: Must repeat every 12-18 months indefinitely

The Economic Treadmill:

Year 1: Initial training ($100M)
Year 2: First retraining ($150M) - costs increase
Year 3: Second retraining ($200M) - costs continue rising
Year 4: Third retraining ($250M) - becoming unsustainable
Year 5+: Either:
  a) Continue expensive retraining (unsustainable)
  b) Accept declining performance (uncompetitive)
  c) Exit market (failure)

Total 5-Year Cost: $850M
Sustainable? Only for largest companies

The Retraining Dilemma

Option A: Frequent Retraining

Advantages:
✓ Model stays current
✓ Competitive performance maintained
✓ User satisfaction high

Disadvantages:
✗ Extremely expensive ($100M-$400M/year)
✗ Requires continuous capital
✗ Disrupts operations
✗ Risk of regression
✗ Never-ending treadmill

Economic Viability: Low (only for giants)

Option B: Infrequent Retraining

Advantages:
✓ Lower costs (spread over time)
✓ Less operational disruption
✓ Longer ROI periods

Disadvantages:
✗ Extended periods of declining performance
✗ User dissatisfaction grows
✗ Competitive disadvantage
✗ Market share loss
✗ Revenue decline

Economic Viability: Low (loses competitive position)

Option C: No Retraining (Status Quo)

Advantages:
✓ Minimal costs
✓ No operational risk

Disadvantages:
✗ Continuous performance decline
✗ Eventually becomes unusable
✗ Complete loss of competitive position
✗ User exodus
✗ Business failure

Economic Viability: Zero (guaranteed failure)

The Impossible Choice:

All options lead to negative outcomes:
- Frequent retraining: Financially unsustainable
- Infrequent retraining: Competitively unsustainable  
- No retraining: Operationally unsustainable

There is no winning strategy with static models

Chapter 3: The Misalignment Problem

Incentive Structures in Current AI Economics

Subscription Model Misalignment:

User Perspective:
"I want AI that provides maximum value for my specific needs"

Company Perspective:
"I want to maximize subscribers and minimize churn"

Misalignment:
✗ Value delivered doesn't affect revenue (same price)
✗ Company optimizes for quantity (more subscribers)
✗ Not incentivized to improve quality (same revenue)
✗ Poor recommendations still generate revenue
✗ No feedback loop between quality and income

Example:
User gets bad recommendation → Still pays $20/month
User gets great recommendation → Still pays $20/month

Result: Weak incentive to improve recommendation quality

API Pricing Misalignment:

User Perspective:
"I want accurate, valuable API responses"

Company Perspective:
"I want maximum API calls to maximize revenue"

Misalignment:
✗ Revenue from volume, not accuracy
✗ More calls = more revenue (regardless of value)
✗ Incentive to increase usage, not improve quality
✗ Quick, cheap responses favored over accurate, valuable ones

Example:
API returns wrong answer → User calls again → More revenue
API returns perfect answer → User satisfied → Less revenue

Result: Perverse incentive discouraging accuracy

Advertising Model Misalignment:

User Perspective:
"I want helpful, relevant information"

Company Perspective:
"I want maximum engagement time to show more ads"

Misalignment:
✗ Revenue from attention, not value
✗ Addictive features prioritized
✗ Quality sacrificed for engagement
✗ User well-being compromised
✗ Race to bottom (sensationalism, clickbait)

Example:
AI helps user quickly (10 min) → Low revenue
AI keeps user engaged (60 min) → High revenue

Result: Incentive to waste user time, not provide value

The Value-Revenue Disconnect

Measuring the Gap:

Traditional Models:

Value Delivered (V): User's actual benefit ($0-$1000)
Revenue Generated (R): Fixed subscription ($20)

Correlation: ρ(V,R) ≈ 0.1-0.3 (very weak)

Examples:
High value ($500) → Same revenue ($20)
Low value ($5) → Same revenue ($20)
No value ($0) → Same revenue ($20) [until churn]

Result: 90% of value-revenue connection missing

Economic Implications:

When V and R are disconnected:

1. No incentive to maximize V
   Company earns same regardless of V
   
2. Optimization focuses on R drivers
   Acquisition, retention, not value delivery
   
3. Quality improvement unfunded
   Better recommendations don't increase R
   No ROI on quality investment
   
4. User value maximization unlikely
   Not the profit-maximizing strategy

Outcome: Suboptimal value delivery is economically rational

The Tragedy of Misalignment

A Thought Experiment:

Scenario: Restaurant Recommendation AI

Traditional Model (Subscription):
User pays $10/month for unlimited recommendations

Situation 1: AI recommends perfect restaurant
- User has amazing experience
- User very satisfied
- User values experience at $50
- AI revenue: $10/month

Situation 2: AI recommends mediocre restaurant
- User has okay experience  
- User somewhat satisfied
- User values experience at $15
- AI revenue: $10/month

Economic Signal to AI Company:
Perfect recommendation = $10
Mediocre recommendation = $10
Difference: $0

Conclusion: No economic incentive to improve from mediocre to perfect

This is the tragedy: Users want perfect, economics reward mediocre

Real-World Consequences:

Companies operating under misaligned models:

1. Underinvest in Quality
   Why spend $10M to improve quality if revenue stays same?
   
2. Optimize Wrong Metrics
   Focus on retention, acquisition, engagement
   Not on actual value delivery
   
3. Create Deceptive Features
   Make AI appear better without being better
   "Perception engineering" over real improvement
   
4. Accumulate Technical Debt
   No ROI on fundamental improvements
   Band-aids and workarounds accumulate

5. Eventually Fail
   User dissatisfaction grows
   Competitors emerge with better models
   Market share erodes
   Business becomes unsustainable

The Economic Impossibility

Why Traditional Models Cannot Sustain AI Development:

Required Investment for Competitive AI:
Initial: $100M-$500M
Annual: $100M-$400M (retraining + improvements)

Revenue Required (Break Even):
$100M-$400M/year minimum

Subscription Model:
Users needed at $20/month: 416,667-1,666,667
Realistically achievable? Difficult
Sustainable? Uncertain
Competitive with free alternatives? No

API Model:
Daily API calls needed at $0.01/call: 27M-109M
Realistic for most companies? No
Margins sufficient? Barely
Commoditization risk? Extreme

Advertising Model:
Daily active users needed: 1M-10M
Ad revenue per user: $0.27-$1.09/day
Achievable market share? Challenging
User experience acceptable? Often compromised

Conclusion: Traditional models struggle to fund AI development

The Death Spiral:

Stage 1: Launch
- High costs
- Growing user base
- Funding from investors

Stage 2: Scale
- Costs continue rising
- Revenue growth slows
- Margins compressed

Stage 3: Maturity
- Model becomes outdated
- Retraining required ($100M+)
- Revenue insufficient
- Cut costs or raise prices

Stage 4: Decline
- If cut costs: Quality declines → users leave
- If raise prices: Users switch to cheaper alternatives
- Competitive position erodes
- Revenue falls

Stage 5: Death
- Unable to fund development
- Can't compete with better-funded rivals
- Acquisition or shutdown

This pattern has played out repeatedly in AI industry

Part II: The Value-Aligned Economic Revolution

Chapter 4: Contextual Intelligence Economics

The Fundamental Shift

From Volume-Based to Value-Based:

Traditional Model:
Revenue = Units × Price
Focus: Maximize units (users, calls, impressions)
Value: Disconnected from revenue

Value-Aligned Model (aéPiot-enabled):
Revenue = Value Created × Commission Rate
Focus: Maximize value created
Value: Directly determines revenue

This is revolutionary

How It Works:

Step 1: AI makes valuable recommendation
   Example: Restaurant recommendation

Step 2: User accepts and acts on recommendation
   Example: User makes reservation and dines

Step 3: Transaction occurs
   Example: User pays $100 for meal

Step 4: Commission captured
   Example: 3% commission = $3 revenue

Step 5: Revenue funds AI improvement
   Example: Better AI → Better recommendations → More revenue

Virtuous Cycle: Value → Revenue → Improvement → Value

The Economics of Value Alignment

Revenue Formula:

R = V × c × a × n

Where:
R = Revenue
V = Value of each transaction
c = Commission rate (typically 1-5%)
a = Acceptance rate (% of recommendations acted upon)
n = Number of recommendations

Key Insight: Revenue grows when:
- V increases (higher-value recommendations)
- a increases (better recommendations accepted more)
- n increases (more users/recommendations)

All driven by AI quality

Example Calculations:

Restaurant Recommendation Platform:

Scenario 1: Poor AI (baseline)
Average transaction value: $40
Commission rate: 3%
Acceptance rate: 30% (poor recommendations)
Daily recommendations: 100,000

Daily Revenue:
100,000 × 0.30 × $40 × 0.03 = $36,000
Annual: $13.1M

Scenario 2: Good AI (aéPiot-enabled contextual intelligence)
Average transaction value: $55 (better matching)
Commission rate: 3%
Acceptance rate: 65% (excellent recommendations)
Daily recommendations: 100,000

Daily Revenue:
100,000 × 0.65 × $55 × 0.03 = $107,250
Annual: $39.1M

Improvement: 3× revenue from better AI
Same number of users
Direct value-revenue connection

Scenario 3: Excellent AI (continuous learning)
Average transaction value: $60 (optimal matching)
Commission rate: 3%
Acceptance rate: 75% (exceptional recommendations)
Daily recommendations: 100,000

Daily Revenue:
100,000 × 0.75 × $60 × 0.03 = $135,000
Annual: $49.3M

Improvement: 3.76× revenue vs. baseline
Driven entirely by quality improvements

The Economic Incentive:

Investment in AI Quality:
Cost to improve AI: $10M
Revenue increase: $13.1M → $49.3M = +$36.2M/year

ROI: 362% per year
Payback period: 3.3 months

Comparison to Traditional Model:
Same $10M investment in quality
Revenue increase: $0 (subscription price unchanged)

ROI: 0%
Payback: Never

Conclusion: Value-aligned models create massive incentive for quality

Platform Economics and Network Effects

The Platform Model:

aéPiot operates as a platform connecting:

Side 1: Users (seeking recommendations, services, products)
Side 2: Providers (restaurants, shops, services)
Side 3: AI Systems (enhanced by contextual intelligence)

Value Creation:
Users → Better recommendations → Higher satisfaction
Providers → Qualified customers → Higher conversion
AI Systems → Contextual data → Better performance

Revenue:
Commission on transactions facilitated
All parties benefit, platform captures portion of value created

Network Effects:

Direct Network Effects:
More users → More data → Better AI → More value → More users

Cross-Side Network Effects:
More users → Attracts more providers
More providers → Attracts more users
Both → More data → Better AI → Stronger position

Data Network Effects:
More interactions → More contextual data
More context → Better recommendations
Better recommendations → More interactions
Compounding improvement

Result: Exponential value growth, not linear

Economic Moats:

1. Data Moat:
   - Unique contextual intelligence
   - Real-world outcome feedback
   - Continuously improving dataset
   - Difficult to replicate

2. Network Moat:
   - Users attract providers
   - Providers attract users
   - Switching costs increase over time
   - Multi-sided lock-in

3. AI Performance Moat:
   - Better context = better AI
   - Better AI = more users
   - More users = more context
   - Self-reinforcing advantage

4. Economic Moat:
   - Value-aligned revenue sustainable
   - Can fund continuous improvement
   - Competitors struggle with traditional models
   - Economic advantage compounds

Multiple reinforcing moats create sustainable competitive position

Quantifying the Advantage

Comparative Economics:

Traditional Subscription Model:

Revenue per user: $20/month = $240/year
1M users = $240M/year

Costs:
Infrastructure: $40M
Development: $80M
Sales/Marketing: $60M
Operations: $30M
Total: $210M

Profit: $30M (12.5% margin)
ROI on $10M AI investment: 0% (no revenue increase)

Value-Aligned Model (aéPiot-enabled):

Average commission per transaction: $2
Transactions per user per month: 4
Revenue per user: $8/month = $96/year
1M users = $96M/year

BUT: Higher acceptance rate (better AI) = more transactions
Realistic: 6 transactions/month = $144/year
1M users = $144M/year

Costs:
Infrastructure: $20M (distributed architecture)
Development: $50M (continuous learning, lower retraining)
Sales/Marketing: $10M (organic growth, network effects)
Operations: $15M
Total: $95M

Profit: $49M (34% margin)
ROI on $10M AI investment: 50-100%+ (revenue increases directly)

Comparative Analysis:
Higher margins (34% vs 12.5%)
Better aligned incentives
Sustainable AI funding
Competitive moat stronger

Scalability Analysis:

Traditional Model Scaling:

Users:     100K → 1M → 10M
Revenue:   $24M → $240M → $2.4B
Costs:     $22M → $210M → $1.8B
Margin:    8% → 12.5% → 25%

Problems:
- Linear revenue growth
- Infrastructure costs grow proportionally
- Margins improve slowly
- Competition on price
- High churn risk

Value-Aligned Model Scaling:

Users:     100K → 1M → 10M
Revenue:   $14M → $144M → $2.0B
Costs:     $12M → $95M → $400M
Margin:    14% → 34% → 80%

Advantages:
- Revenue per user increases (network effects)
- Infrastructure costs sublinear (distributed)
- Margins improve dramatically
- Competition on value not price
- Low churn (high satisfaction)

Result: Superior scaling economics

Economic Multiplier Effects

Network Value Multiplication:

Standard Platform (Traditional):
n users → n × v value
Linear growth

aéPiot Platform (Complementary):
n users → n² × v value (network effects)
Exponential growth

Why?
- Each user enhances value for all others
- Content creators attract consumers
- Consumers attract businesses
- Businesses attract creators
- All create data → Better AI → More value
- Multilingual reaches more users
- Subdomains create more access points

Result: Value grows exponentially, not linearly

Quantitative Example:

Scenario: Platform Growth

100 users:
Traditional value: 100v
aéPiot value: 100² × v = 10,000v
Multiplier: 100×

1,000 users:
Traditional: 1,000v
aéPiot: 1,000² × v = 1,000,000v
Multiplier: 1,000×

10,000 users:
Traditional: 10,000v
aéPiot: 10,000² × v = 100,000,000v
Multiplier: 10,000×

Network effects create geometric value growth

Chapter 7: Scalability and Margin Economics

Infrastructure Scalability

Traditional Centralized Architecture:

Centralized Servers:

100K users → 10 servers → $100K/month
1M users → 100 servers → $1M/month
10M users → 1,000 servers → $10M/month

Cost growth: Linear with users
Margin pressure: Constant
Scaling challenge: Significant

Infrastructure becomes cost ceiling
Limits scalability and profitability

aéPiot's Distributed Architecture:

Random Subdomain Generation:
- Infinite scalability through organic distribution
- Each subdomain can be independently hosted
- Load naturally distributed
- No central bottleneck

From aéPiot documentation:
"Random subdomain generator creates URLs like:
- 604070-5f.aepiot.com
- eq.aepiot.com  
- 408553-o-950216-w-792178-f-779052-8.aepiot.com"

Economic Benefits:
100K users → Distributed → $50K/month
1M users → More distributed → $200K/month
10M users → Widely distributed → $500K/month

Cost growth: Sublinear (economies of scale)
Margin improvement: With scale
Scaling challenge: Minimal

Infrastructure enables scaling, not limits it

Comparative Scalability:

Cost per 1M Users:

Traditional Architecture:
Infrastructure: $1M/month = $12M/year
Percentage of revenue: 25-50%

aéPiot Architecture:
Infrastructure: $200K/month = $2.4M/year
Percentage of revenue: 5-15%

Savings: $9.6M/year per million users
Margin Improvement: 20-35 percentage points

At 10M users:
Traditional costs: $120M/year
aéPiot costs: $24M/year

Savings: $96M/year
Competitive Advantage: Massive

Gross Margin Analysis

Traditional AI Platform Margins:

Subscription Model:
Revenue: $240/user/year
COGS (Cost of Goods Sold):
- Infrastructure: $40/user
- API costs: $20/user
- Support: $15/user
- Other: $10/user
Total COGS: $85/user

Gross Margin: ($240 - $85) / $240 = 64.6%

Operating Expenses:
- Development: $80M
- Sales & Marketing: $60M
- G&A: $30M
Total OpEx: $170M

Break-even users: 1.1M
Challenging to achieve and maintain

aéPiot-Enabled Platform Margins:

Value-Aligned Model:
Revenue: $144/user/year (at moderate transaction volume)

COGS:
- Infrastructure: $12/user (distributed architecture)
- Processing: $8/user
- Support: $5/user (self-service emphasis)
- Other: $5/user
Total COGS: $30/user

Gross Margin: ($144 - $30) / $144 = 79.2%

Operating Expenses:
- Development: $50M (continuous learning, not retraining)
- Sales & Marketing: $10M (organic growth, network effects)
- G&A: $20M
Total OpEx: $80M

Break-even users: 470K
Much more achievable

At 1M users:
Gross Profit: $114M
Net Profit: $34M (23.6% net margin)

At 10M users:
Gross Profit: $1.14B
Net Profit: $1.06B (74% net margin)

Margins improve dramatically with scale

Unit Economics

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC):

Traditional Model:
CAC: $100-$500/customer
Payback: 5-25 months
Churn: 3-5%/month
LTV/CAC: 3-5× (acceptable but tight)

Challenges:
- High marketing spend required
- Constant acquisition pressure
- Churn erodes value
- Expensive to scale

aéPiot-Enabled Model:
CAC: $10-$50/customer (mostly organic)
Payback: 1-4 months
Churn: 1-2%/month (high satisfaction)
LTV/CAC: 15-50× (exceptional)

Advantages:
- Network effects drive organic growth
- Value-alignment reduces churn
- Word-of-mouth strong
- Cost-effective scaling

Lifetime Value (LTV):

Traditional Subscription:
Monthly revenue: $20
Average lifetime: 12 months (churn)
LTV: $240
CAC: $100
LTV/CAC: 2.4×

Marginal but acceptable

aéPiot-Enabled:
Monthly revenue: $12 (average transaction commissions)
Average lifetime: 36 months (low churn)
LTV: $432
CAC: $20
LTV/CAC: 21.6×

Exceptional unit economics

Additionally:
- Revenue per user grows over time (more transactions)
- Network effects increase value
- Actual LTV often much higher
- Sustainable growth economics

Cohort Analysis:

Traditional Model - Cohort Economics:

Month 1: 1000 users, Revenue: $20K, Cost: $100K (acquisition)
Month 2: 970 users (3% churn), Revenue: $19.4K
Month 3: 941 users, Revenue: $18.8K
Month 12: 694 users, Revenue: $13.9K

Cumulative by Month 12:
Revenue: $197K
Costs: $100K + $24K (COGS) = $124K
Profit: $73K
Profitability: Barely

aéPiot Model - Cohort Economics:

Month 1: 1000 users, Revenue: $12K, Cost: $20K (acquisition)
Month 2: 990 users (1% churn), Revenue: $11.9K
Month 3: 980 users, Revenue: $11.8K
Month 12: 887 users, Revenue: $10.6K
Plus: Revenue per user grows 20% over year

Cumulative by Month 12:
Revenue: $156K (base) + $31K (growth) = $187K
Costs: $20K + $36K (COGS) = $56K
Profit: $131K
Profitability: Strong

Year 2-3: Profit compounds as acquisition cost fully amortized
