For a hr consulting project, this means a high average ticket and a setup cost above national by 45 %.
Local purchasing power and lead density allow targeting the high end of the revenue range from year 2. Concretely, initial investment calibrated for Stockholm ranges from 7K SEK to 36K SEK, and Year 1 target revenue sits between 84K SEK and 310K SEK — a range that already factors in the local coefficients of this city (+45% vs average on costs, +40% vs average on purchasing power).
