Builder Side Inputs
Program investment range plus destination living-cost benchmarks for the onsite phase. Revenue scenarios modeled at low, moderate, and strong month-12 MRR.
12 & 24 Month Comparison

Retained Asset Value
The builder path is not just cheaper. It can create a retained asset: a product that generates revenue and has real ownership value.
