Formula
price = cost / (1 - contribution - payment fee)
NYC: US$992 / 0.415 = US$2,390, rounded to US$2,400
Toronto: C$1,271 / 0.415 = C$3,063, rounded to C$3,100
Pilot floors are demand-test prices. They are not settled margins until checkout, physical sample, landed cost, and acceptance evidence exist.
02 / PROVIDER MAP
Choose the route by proof.
