Revenue basis · Stripe-verified (TrustMRR)
The source body is empty apart from a one-line summary, so subscription price, billing cycle, and paying-user count cannot be verified
The $2,123/month figure is Stripe-verified, but user scale, churn, and retention data are missing, so revenue durability is unknown
Acquisition channels and first-customer sources are not mentioned, so replicability of the playbook can't be assessed
