What drove the 65/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

01MEDOnly 2 units in system indicates extremely limited operating history and no meaningful growth trajectory to validate
02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance representations (revenue/net income) disclosed — impossible to assess ROI on $421k-$653k investment
03MINORHigh initial investment ($50k franchise fee + $421k-$653k total) with unproven unit economics and no earnings data
04MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard (10 years typical), limiting franchisee recoupment window
05MINORMicro-franchise system (2 units) presents survivability risk — franchisor may lack infrastructure, support systems, and financial stability
