Can growth fund the next hire?
A tutoring and membership business needs to see enrollment, retention, cohort economics, instructor capacity, marketing efficiency, and cash together, not in separate reports.
| Program | Revenue | Profit / Contribution | Key KPI | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 Tutoring | $62k | $25k | 78% util. | Healthy |
| SAT Bootcamp | $31k | $12k | $242 CAC | Ahead |
| After-school | $29k | $5k | 69% util. | Watch |
| Online Membership | $20k | $8k | 4.1% churn | Healthy |
The dashboard connects enrollment, pricing, instructor hours, marketing spend, and cash so the hiring decision is based on contribution and forward liquidity rather than top-line growth alone.
| Line item | Actual | Plan | Variance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $142.0k | $132.5k | +$9.5k |
| Instructor payroll | ($57.4k) | ($52.0k) | ($5.4k) |
| Marketing | ($18.8k) | ($16.0k) | ($2.8k) |
| Other operating | ($41.2k) | ($40.0k) | ($1.2k) |
| Operating profit | $24.6k | $24.5k | +$0.1k |
SAT and 1:1 tutoring are funding growth; after-school enrollment is up, but underutilized instructor hours are suppressing contribution.
| Timing | Obligation | Amount | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1 | Payroll | $28.6k | High |
| W2 | Ad spend | $11.5k | High |
| W3 | Curriculum licenses | $7.2k | High |
| W4 | Proposed instructor hire | $9.8k | Medium |
The owner can hire, but timing matters: moving the start date by three weeks preserves an additional $18k of liquidity.
$11k of annualized contribution protected if churn stays below 5%.
Underutilized after-school blocks explain most of the margin gap.
SAT acquisition remains attractive; broad paid social does not.
The owner can see the growth opportunity and the cash cost of pursuing it in the same view.
