जोखिम कारक

• Occupancy shortfall could delay the 3–5 month break-even despite $189,000–$324,000 revenue targets

• Demand volatility in a lower GDP/capita market ($2,695) can limit willingness to pay for premium desks
• High fixed costs typical of brick-and-mortar could amplify losses if utilisation drops
