- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, suggesting potential financial instability or operational concerns at franchisor level
- 04MINORNo protected territory creates direct competition risk—franchisor could open competing units or approve nearby franchisees
- 05MINORWide investment range ($97.5K–$358K, 268% spread) indicates unclear costs, poor cost controls, or inconsistent buildout standards
- 06MEDSingle-unit system with no disclosed growth plan raises questions about franchisor's ability to support, train, and scale franchisees
