🚀 "Chance Favours the Prepared Mind"

Conservative caps prevent Fibonacci explosions while allowing for upside surprise. If the Gods blow a fair wind and we exceed targets, fantastic! But we're not betting the house on exponential fairy tales. CAC of £0.80 + 0.3 viral coefficient = realistic, investor-ready model. By Year 5: 100K users, profitable, 0% equity dilution. Keep your house, build your empire! 🏠👑
