Score breakdown · what drove the 28 / 100 rating
- 01MEDOnly 6 units in system with unknown growth trajectory — extremely limited track record and scale
- 02MINORWide investment range ($276.5K–$2.96M) suggests inconsistent unit economics or undefined scope of buildout
- 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — cannot validate claimed average revenues of $1.43M
- 04MINOR7% royalty on 'Network Revenues' is vague terminology — unclear if calculated on gross or net, risking disputes
- 05MINORHigh average net income claim ($630K) appears unrealistic relative to initial investment without disclosure of operating expenses, payroll, and rent
