What drove the 65/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — impossible to validate ROI claims or benchmark unit economics
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential corporate financial instability or sustainability questions
- 03MINOROnly 4 units operating with 33.3% YoY growth from extremely small base (3 units prior year) — statistically insignificant and difficult to project
- 04MINORWide investment range ($147K–$575K, 291% spread) suggests unclear unit economics or highly variable buildout costs
- 05MINOR4% royalty on 'Green Mill On The Go menu items only' creates ambiguity — franchisee may operate other revenue streams without clarity on total system profitability
- 06MINOREarly-stage franchise (4 units) lacks operational maturity and track record; high failure risk in startup phase
