## Revenue Model
1. **B2B SaaS Licensing:** Monthly subscription fees for EAMs ($2,500 - $10,000/month).
2. **AUM-Based Fee:** A performance-linked fee of 2-5 basis points on assets advised via the platform.
3. **White-Label Integration:** One-time setup fees for larger institutional clients ($250k+).
## ROI Summary
The platform is projected to reach operational break-even within 30 months. With a projected Year-5 revenue of $18M, the ROI is estimated at 145% over the 5-year period. High scalability of the AI core allows for margin expansion as AUM increases without linear cost increases.
