Work / Revenue Snapshot (per founder)

Scenario Hours/month Rate €/h Revenue/month Notes
Current capacity - Growth rate 48 45 2,160 Portfolio building, Brazil, etc.
Current capacity - Standard rate 48 70 3,360 Target for EU/intl projects
Current capacity - Premium rate 48 100 4,800 US clients, Elixir work
Half capacity - Standard rate 24 70 1,680 2 days/week × 3h/day

For 2 founders: Multiply revenue by 2. Example: 2 founders @ 48h each @ €70/h = €6,720/month total.

Break-even with current costs (€493/month) is ~€5.15/h per founder. Target standard rate (€65-80) for sustainable growth as portfolio builds.
