September became ZAMÁ’s strongest operating month to date.
Revenue increased significantly while expenses remained essentially flat, providing the clearest evidence yet that the underlying business model can generate meaningful operating cash flow.
Monthly Operating Base
The Number That Matters
≈ MXN $250,000–MXN $275,000
/ Month · Current Operating Expense Range
The current operating data suggests that maintaining monthly expenses around MXN $250K–$275K creates a strong foundation for sustainable profitability as revenue grows.

“The next financial-control step is separating fixed infrastructure from direct guest costs so ZAMÁ can establish its true fixed monthly overhead.”

Operating Leverage Is Beginning to Appear
Once ZAMÁ’s infrastructure is in place, incremental revenue has the potential to create disproportionately greater operating profit. This is exactly the operating characteristic we want to continue testing.

“The objective is not simply more guests. It is enough appropriately qualified guests, at healthy unit economics, to consistently fund the operation while protecting the quality and integrity of the ZAMÁ experience.”
Monthly KPIs
The 7 Numbers We Need Every Month
01
Revenue per Guest
How much each guest actually pays.
02
Direct Cost per Guest
Actual cost of delivering the guest’s program.
03
Contribution Margin
Revenue minus direct guest costs.
04
CAC
Customer Acquisition Cost — what ZAMÁ spends to acquire each paying guest.
05
Occupancy
How efficiently the physical infrastructure is being utilized.
06
Operating Profit / EBITDA
True operating profitability.
07
Cash Balance
Actual cash available to the business.
“Profitability and cash flow are not the same. Both must be monitored.”
90-Day Financial Order
What We Need to Know Next
True Guest-Level Profitability
Know exactly what ZAMÁ earns from every guest and what each guest costs to serve.
True Break-Even
Determine exactly how many full-program guests are required each month to cover fixed overhead.
Fixed vs. Variable Costs
Separate infrastructure costs from direct guest costs.
CAC
Know what it costs to generate one paying guest.
Cash Reserve
Once consistently profitable, retain part of monthly profits in the business.
Accounting Reconciliation
Every revenue and expense line should reconcile to the actual bank/cash position.
2027 Model
After 3–6 consecutive months of reliable operating data, build the formal annual model.
Current Business Health
Where We Stand
Profitability Proven in a Month
September generated more than MXN $165K operating surplus.
Operating Leverage
Revenue grew approximately 36% while expenses remained essentially flat.
Cumulative Break-Even Is Close
Remaining operating deficit is approximately MXN $41K.
Manageable Cost Structure
Existing operating costs appear manageable relative to demonstrated revenue potential.
Revenue Consistency
Several consecutive profitable months are required before September’s 40.1% margin should be considered sustainable.
Unit Economics
CAC, sales commissions and payment processing still need to be separated and monitored.
Beyond the Current Operating Model
The Opportunity
The immediate priority is making ZAMÁ’s existing individual healing operation consistently profitable. Once that foundation is proven, the same infrastructure may support a larger opportunity through aligned partnerships, expanded preparation and integration, recurring transformational experiences, community and the emerging Transformational Epicenter ecosystem.
01
Individual Experiences
Strengthen the existing ZAMÁ engine by consistently filling individual healing programs with appropriately qualified guests.
02
Transformational Epicenter × ZAMÁ
Explore carefully structured group transformational experiences that combine ZAMÁ’s healing environment and clinical stewardship with a broader preparation, experience and integration journey.
03
Longer-Term Ecosystem
Use what is learned through individual and group experiences to inform future community, technology, integration, alumni and transformational-support infrastructure.
FIRST, PROVE THE MACHINE.
THEN, EXPAND THE POSSIBILITY.
Final Operating Principle
Consistency is the next milestone.
“Do not optimize ZAMÁ around having one exceptional month. Optimize it around creating a machine that can repeatedly produce exceptional months.”
