Contribution profit equals modeled revenue less advertising, book costs, workshop costs, payment processing, and the selected high-ticket and Skool cost rates. It excludes taxes and fixed overhead not entered above. New Skool cohorts join and pay in the workshop month; payments are not prorated. Active membership after churn is an expected-value estimate. Paid downstream value is allocated by paid registration share, and workshop delivery cost is allocated using the same share.
