This case tests market sizing, financial analysis, and go/no-go decision-making. The candidate must segment the total addressable market through multiple filters (gender, age, affluence, participation rate, penetration) and calculate breakeven using contribution margin per customer. The analysis reveals a compelling opportunity with strong unit economics ($150 profit per customer annually) and a quick 3-year payback on the $255M R&D investment.
