Assumptions:
- 200 licenses × $3 reward × 12 months × 95 % performance.
- Subscription = $2.99 / license / month.
- Exchange rate = 1 USD ≈ 1.55 AUD (for reference only).
Interpretation
- Self-Operate requires high utilisation and uptime to break even.
- Leasing generates steady income with minimal ongoing costs.
- Hybrid balances control and delegation but yields moderate ROI.
- ROI improves substantially if token or service reward rates increase.
- Payback period shortens under higher utilisation or lower subscription cost.
