- 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosures (Avg Revenue and Net Income not disclosed) prevents ROI validation and suggests poor unit economics
- 04MINORRoyalty structure based on Gross Profit (not Gross Revenue) is unusual and creates accounting ambiguity and potential disputes
- 05MEDHigh initial investment ($122k-$226k) with only 2 operating units and no disclosed profitability creates severe risk-return mismatch
