100% margin floor (lifetime, worst marketplace)
Margin is (net − unit COGS) / unit COGS with unit COGS = $20.00 (support, signing seats, CDN, payment ops per seat). The least profitable marketplace is Apple at 30% take → you keep 70%.
For margin ≥ 100%: net ≥ $40, so list price ≥ $57.14. Lifetime lists at $100.00. Yearly is a support subscription, not sized to that floor.
Unit cost allocation $20.00 · worst take rate 30% (Apple) · list $100.00 (lifetime)
