The gap between cost (orange) and attributed revenue (teal) widens every month as the knowledge base compounds and the cold email engine learns. Month 6 is the first month where attributed revenue is more than 21× the cost.
// WHAT TO ADD NEXT
Module 4 · Programmatic SEO
+$1,800/mo
30-100 pages targeting his real segments. 6-month ramp to organic leads. Projected $40k-$120k/yr at maturity.
Module 6 · Sister-brand site network
+$2,400/mo
10 regional micro-sites (Canada, LA, Seattle, Miami, Phoenix, etc.). Compounding inbound. Projected $150k-$400k/yr at maturity.
Module 5 · AI Education + Enablement
+$900/mo
Adaptive training for Tyson + the team. Adoption multiplier on every other module.
Note for internal eyes only. Numbers on this page are a projection of what a 6-month-mature engagement looks like, scaled to Tyson's real $1.96M run-rate, $4,939 AOV, and 68.6% repeat behavior. Once the engagement is live, each cell will be replaced with a live read from billing + the CRM. The math is intentionally conservative: closed-won counts assume an integrator close-rate of ~30% and an end-user close-rate of ~10%, both inside industry norm.
