Hypothetical Restaurant Startup · explore

Identity, industry, geography, and stage are copied. Financial entries and evidence stay on the current draft. This does not change a recommendation.

Tier explore. Changing tier does not change a recommendation. Entered answers stay user-supplied assumptions.

User-supplied assumptions. Answers on this form are not verified data.

Verified data. Only the separate verified demand record is applied, and only when its source is verified and a rationale is present.

Unmeasured placeholders. A blank required field stays blank. A number already shown in a worksheet field is the stored assumption, not a silent substitution.

Required startup fields are filled. They remain user-supplied assumptions, not verified data.

Monthly fields are filled. Leave “These monthly figures are measured” unchecked when they are unmeasured placeholders.

Demand evidence

Is there demand evidence? A yes here is still only a user-supplied assumption.

Verified demand record

Separate from the customer question above. These fields are applied only when the source is verified and a rationale is present. A customer yes, a hypothetical demonstration, and an AI interpretation cannot clear INSUFFICIENT_DEMAND_EVIDENCE. This record does not approve the assessment.

Source for this record Verified trailing revenue (revenue_trailing_12m) Verified demand_evidence Rationale for the verified record Is operator capacity adequate? Is there an unresolved regulatory or liability issue? Do stewardship indicators show extraction without reinvestment?

Startup capital

The primary revenue path remains seats × occupancy × average ticket. Required fields are construction cost, seats, average ticket, weekday occupancy, weekend occupancy, operating days, and contribution margin.

Construction cost Seats Average ticket Weekday occupancy Weekend occupancy Operating days Contribution margin

Optional startup worksheet lines

Values already in these fields are stored with the draft. They are user-supplied worksheet assumptions, not verified data.

Equipment Soft costs Pre-opening working capital Contingency percentage (0.10 = 10%) Debt share Annual interest rate Amortization years Annual fixed costs Downside occupancy multiplier

Monthly engine

All four monthly fields are required before the monthly engine calculates. Unchecked measured status keeps the figures unmeasured.

Initial capital Monthly fixed costs Gross margin Projected monthly base revenue These monthly figures are measured

Introductory questions

Market & Demand Reality. Introductory question: What observable evidence would show that customers will buy, and which statements are still assumptions?
Competitive Position & Differentiation. Introductory question: Who else can the customer choose, and what is different about this offer?
Financial Feasibility & Capital Requirements. Introductory question: Which capital and monthly figures are measured, and which are still blank?
Operational Readiness & Capacity. Introductory question: Who will do the work, and is that capacity enough for the scope being considered?
Risk Profile (market, execution, financial, regulatory). Introductory question: What regulatory, liability, or execution question is still unresolved?
Stewardship Indicators (reinvestment capacity, resilience, continuity potential). Introductory question: If the business produces cash, what would be reinvested, and what would be taken out?
Implementation Feasibility (for AI or operational improvements). Introductory question: What would have to be true before an operational change is attempted?
