ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

AIRA Fitness presents material risk due to lack of financial transparency, minimal unit base, corporate going concern issues, and inability to validate investment returns.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo financial performance disclosure (Item 19) — cannot validate $40k-$254k investment ROI claims
  2. 02MEDExtremely small unit base (9 locations) with unknown growth trajectory — suggests limited brand traction or possible contraction
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial viability issues at corporate level
  4. 04MINORHigh investment range spread ($254k vs $40k) without corresponding revenue/profit data creates opacity
  5. 05MINORLow monthly royalty ($799) relative to investment suggests either low-revenue model or aggressive unit acquisition strategy to compensate corporate
