  "formula": "break_even_price = cost_per_user_month; required_price = cost_per_user_month / (1 - margin)",
  "assumptions": [
    "Cost model includes all variable and infra components in USD",
    "Pricing is per active paying user per month with units kept explicit",
    "Cost inputs should come from one shared pricing snapshot context",
    "Market willingness to pay is validated separately"
  ],
  "example": "If cost_per_user_month_usd is 12 and target_margin_pct is 75, break_even_price_usd is 12 and required_price_usd is 48."
