Value and payback
MODEL OUTPUTPer-household industry expenditure is a DERIVED average across all species, incomes and veterinary events. It is used here only to frame scale, never as a claim on PawPals' addressable wallet.
Investor implication
Capturing 3.27% of a household's annual pet spend is a modest claim. That is the point: the business case does not depend on becoming the household's primary spending channel, only on being the place where a subset of decisions begins.
