Pott Candles: the ideal scenario, £900k November and £768k December

What it looks like if we hit the goal: the revenue by day on the sheet's shape, the ad spend that keeps the business at break-even after all costs every day until early access, and the profit from then on. New-customer ROAS is the return those ads would have to make on new customers; blended ROAS is total revenue over ad spend. Orange rows are Black Friday week, blue rows December. All figures include VAT.
