- 02HIGHTwo litigation cases involving breach of contract and tortious interference suggest franchisor-franchisee relationship tensions despite settlements
- 03MINORRapid unit growth (75.9% YoY) may indicate aggressive expansion ahead of proven unit economics, increasing failure risk for newer franchisees
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($528K spread) with capped $5K/month royalty suggests unclear path to profitability for lower-investment models
- 05HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability at franchisor level, though context unclear
