Price curve: linear decay from start → floorBank: cumulative net since launchFloor: infra ÷ paying users at milestoneYour time is not included

Fees and taxes are reflected in bank and net figures. Growth is assumed steady — real growth is lumpy. The floor shown is the infra break-even only; your actual pricing floor should sit above it.
