Review before use

What to review before using the result

  • Refunds and payment/platform costs are explicit
  • Support cost scales with retained learners
  • Break-even includes relevant fixed costs outside this model
Questions specific to this tool

Review questions before you continue

What is qualified traffic?

Visitors who reasonably match the audience and intent of the offer. Total impressions or unrelated visits should not be used as equivalent demand.

Why is net revenue not profit?

The model subtracts listed refunds, percentage costs, and per-learner support only. Taxes, fixed operating costs, acquisition, chargebacks, and creator time may still remain.

FAQ

Is this output ready to publish or assign?

No. Treat generated content as an editable first draft. Check accuracy, level, examples, accessibility, and fit with your learners before use.

Is learner data stored?

The public usage record stores usage and cost metadata, not your input. Remove names and identifying information before submitting learner work.

Why is there a free limit?

It keeps expensive AI generation available for genuine evaluation. After the anonymous allowance, sign in and continue through the same AI balance used in SubSchool.
