What is our minimum success criteria and when can we break even?
No knowledge
Since this is a chrome extension, no one will know about its existence without marketing. No one browses the webstore.
Zero Charges
Charges for the service NEED to be $0, at least for the initial years, given the marketing trends and target users.
Minimum Donations
The chances of large donations and brand deals are minimal till a proof of concept is established.
AI Model change
The AI model that is designed will be updated either after 18 months of the chrome extension or when the extension gains high traction.
