Score breakdown · what drove the 55 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Unit Volumes) disclosed — impossible to assess profitability or ROI credibility
- 02MINORVery small system (9 units) limits data reliability and creates survivorship bias in unit growth claims
- 03MINORWide investment range ($635.5K–$1.123M) suggests high variability in startup costs with unclear cost drivers
- 04MINORRapid unit growth (28.6% YoY) in micro-system may reflect cherry-picked locations or unsustainable expansion
- 05MINOR6% royalty on gross revenue (not net) means profitability pressure regardless of actual earnings
