Introduction · What this document is for

Business Idea v2.2.2 says what EverWell is. The three workstream plans say what each workstream does. This document places the three workstreams on one timeline and one cash flow: what each period must achieve, who does what to get there, how the money is split, how it runs month by month, and what can go wrong — along with how to catch it.

Four end-of-Phase-1 goals — every period leads back here

# M18 goal Measure of success
M1 A set of 12–20 cups that customers come back for · ≥1 packaged product (wellness tea bags / gift box) Repeat rate ≥35% · packaged product carries a Korean label and its first batch is sold in the shop
M2 Wholesome menu of ≤8 dishes · pre-ordered lunch combo · weekly pack running ≥40 combos/week · ≥15 weekly packs/week
M3 Shop 1 at operating break-even, shop capital recovered · handbook passed the "newcomer" test 6 consecutive months of net cash flow ≥0 · a newcomer opens a shift correctly from the handbook without a founder present
M4 A real community with a giving programme run with a partner in Incheon · Phase 2 capital committed ≥300 given-forward cups actually given · 1 Green Volunteer Day held with a partner · 600 M₩ signed

Programme launch milestones — one line for the whole document suite to follow

1 · The 18-month picture — five stages, one cash flow

Stage Name Required outcome at stage close Gate to the next stage (council decides by 2/3) Funds left at stage end*
M0–M2 Drinks set & company foundation 8–10 cups through the five-question gate · company, trademark, accounts done · Lane 1 open Residency status confirmed · capital agreement signed · 8–10 cups through the gate 159.1
M2–M3 Brand onto the cup · build Shop 1 Premises signed, fit-out done, all permits in place · shop manager trained · opening at end of M3 Premises passed document check · all shop permits in place 114.5
M4–M10 Operate · recover shop capital · launch food & the Cup Given Forward Shop through the summer without borrowing · ≤8 dishes running · Cup Given Forward running · packaged product selected Shop running steadily for 1 month · cash book kept regularly · food permit 78.6
M10–M12 Design the full-set shop · re-read the 4 groups 4-group ratio verified · full-set shop design + estimate · production dossier Shop 1 at operating break-even · 4 groups re-read 77.8
M12–M18 Steady profit · standardise · raise 600 M₩ Four goals M1–M4 met · handbook passed the newcomer test · 600 M₩ signed · Lane 2 open 12 months of books · break-even · handbook passed the newcomer test 86.9

*Base scenario §5; the 40 M₩ reserve is included in this figure and must not be touched.

How to read the picture: M0–M3 is spend only — that is the price of laying the foundation carefully. In M4–M9 the shop covers most of its own costs but the company still tops it up; the summer of M7–M9 is drawn straight into the model. M11 is the first month of positive net cash flow; from M13 net cash flow is steadily positive thanks to the lunch combo, weekly pack and sets. At the end of M18, 86.9 M₩ remains — 46.9 M₩ above the reserve — entering Phase 2 with 600 M₩ of new capital.


2 · Work goals by period

Each stage records measurable goals across four dimensions: product · customers & community · operations & legal · money. The threshold is the "pass" level; below it the stage does not close, and the council discusses stepping back or making up the gap.

Total hours for the three part-time roles across Phase 1 ≈ 4,000 hours. The rate of 15,000₩/hour (Governance & Capital Structure §4) is only a bookkeeping unit for hours, used to divide within each group and to evidence contribution — it is not a share valuation. The value of the executive team's 35% block follows the company valuation (175 M₩ at M0), not total hours × rate.

"Funds left" = 200 M₩ plus cumulative net flow, including the 40 M₩ reserve. The 15 M₩ deposit sits within foundation — recoverable later, but cash out today.

5.4 Three numbers to remember

Number Value Meaning
Cash floor 77.8 M₩ at M12 37.8 above the 40 M₩ reserve — the summer and every foundation spend have passed without touching the reserve
First month the company sustains itself M11 Company-wide net flow ≥0; the shop level has sustained itself since M6
Funds left at end of M18 86.9 M₩ Reserve of 40 intact + 46.9 carried into Phase 2, before the new 600 M₩

5.5 Break-even — two levels

Level Monthly fixed costs Revenue needed Equivalent Reached at
Shop (rent + wages) 7.9 ≈ 11.3 ~72 cups/day, or 60 cups + food 2 M₩ M6 (before summer), steady from M10
Company (shop + recurring K1 + K2 + K3) 10.05 ≈ 14.6 ~75 cups/day + food 3 M₩ M11; stable from M13

Method: fixed costs ÷ contribution after ingredients (69–70%). One-off items (cosmetics, packaging, fundraising) are excluded from monthly break-even.

5.6 Three scenarios — looking the downside in the eye

Scenario Total revenue, 19 months Total spend Cash floor Company self-sustaining from Funds at end of M18
Cautious (−20% customers) 178.7 322.1 56.6 at M18 Not within Phase 1 56.6
Base 223.4 336.5 77.8 at M12 M11 86.9
Good (+15% customers) 256.9 347.3 84.4 at M9 M10 109.6

5.7 Phase 2 capital — 600 M₩

Item When Condition
Dossier: 12 months of externally reconciled accounts, 2.4 B₩ pre-money valuation (600 M₩ for 20%, post-money 3.0 B₩ — an expectation, to be revisited with the strategy advisor), equity or convertible-loan structure M12 Company self-sustaining for ≥1 month
Meet investors "seeded" since M4 (regulars, partners, introductions from Phase 1 contributors) M13–M15 Handbook passed the newcomer test · quarterly Regeneration report
Due diligence · agreement · update 자본금 · shareholders' meeting approves the issue M14–M18 Council proposes by 2/3, shareholders decide; lawyer
Money lands → start the full-set shop M16–M18 Large premises contract signed only once the money lands

The 3.0 M₩ fundraising-dossier cost already sits in Workstream 3 (M13–M15). If the raise is delayed, the 86.9 M₩ left at end of M18 still sustains the company for ~2 years at the M13–M18 net-flow level.


6 · Risk analysis and contingency

6.1 Risk table — ranked by loss × probability

# Risk Probability Impact Early sign Prevent Response when it happens Lead
R1 Residency status / right to do business insufficient Low Very high 행정사 has not confirmed after week 1 Blocking task in week 1; no deposit, no major spend before confirmation Change the structure (a qualifying name-holder within the capital group) · delay M0; spend up to that point ≤ 4 M₩ K3
R2 Customers/day below assumption for a prolonged period (<50 cups/day for 4 weeks outside summer) Medium High One-page ledger below threshold 2 weeks running · repeat rate <20% Three tasting rounds M0–M2 · Lane 1 ≥1,000 followers before opening · 2-question slip at the counter Level 1 (4 weeks): K1 steps up counter gestures, early lunch combo, two-cup set; K2 replaces 2 cups. Level 2 (8 weeks): cut teammate shifts, keep the shop manager; postpone cosmetics and packaging; K1+K2 monthly budget −40%. Level 3 (12 weeks): council + advisors: change premises / change hours / step back a stage — open the reserve conditionally K1 + K3
R3 Summer M7–M9 deeper than 65% (students away, heat) Medium Medium Cups/day <40 in the first week of M7 40 M₩ reserve · summer content for families · cool cups, take-home packs Short shifts 11:00–20:00 · 1 teammate · no borrowing; touch the reserve by ≤ 8 M₩ if all 3 months are <40 cups K3
R4 Premises: rent above 2.3 or documents not clean Medium High All 8–10 surveyed premises >2.8 Survey from M1 · check 건축물대장 before deposit · rent ceiling 2.8 Choose a pure take-away 30 m² · cut fit-out to 18 · if >3.0: delay opening 1 month rather than sign K3
R5 Herbal ingredients not permitted for import / batch held Medium High ≥2 herbs on the list fall outside Korea's food list Review the list at M0 with the Oriental-medicine advisor · certified suppliers · 2 sources for each key herb Swap in a substitute from the list · recipes not dependent on one herb · small 2-week batches, no stockpiling K2 + K3
R6 Promises beyond the licence (health claims, "cures", 건강기능식품 (health functional food)) Medium High Copy on boards, Kakao or posts not passed through the eight-question checklist Eight-question checklist before every post · 4 things we never promise · shop manager has the hard-questions sheet Remove at once · public apology if needed · K1 reviews the whole content library within 48 hours K1
R7 Overload of part-time founders (CEO 25 hours/week alongside a main job) High Medium A blocker raised at the weekly meeting not cleared within 1 week, twice in a row One full day off per role · hours by stage §4.5 · shop manager in from M2 Move procedural work to 행정사/accountant per task · step back a stage instead of straining · council discusses, no one struggles silently Council
R8 Shop staffing: shop manager leaves midway Medium High Not taking days off · ledger entered late Clear contract, wages on time, ESOP from M12 · second teammate able to open a shift Teammate takes shift authority for 4 weeks · CEO at the counter for at most 2 weeks · re-hire per handbook, blind taste K3
R9 Ingredient cost >32% for a prolonged period (exchange rate, herb prices) Medium Medium Monthly cost-of-goods table rises 2 months in a row Monthly cost review K2+K3 · 2 supply sources · Line 2 priced with margin Adjust measures without lowering quality · raise Line 2 prices by ≤500₩ first · replace high-cost cups K2
R10 Trademark 에버웰 conflicts / refused Low Medium KIPRIS search before filing shows a similar name Search before M1 · file 2 classes · separately redrawn logo File a variant name (EverWell + figure) · signboard uses the figurative logo first K3 + K1
R11 Religious story misunderstood (customers, press, partners) Low High Comments or questions about religion at the shop / on Lane 1 No religious symbols · Lane 1 does not talk about religion · partner's name only on their own channels · hard-questions sheet Route to K1 to answer · one unified message "a meeting place for every family" · no public debate K1
R12 Food pulls the shop off the 3-minute rhythm (slow kitchen, queues) Medium Medium Service time >5 minutes at lunch · cups/day fall after food launch ≤8 dishes on one prep base · pre-ordered combo via Kakao · Monday prep Sell only pre-ordered combos at lunch · cut to 5 dishes · cups stay the priority K2
R13 600 M₩ raise falls short / is delayed Medium Medium No written commitment by M15 Seeding from M4 · 12 months of data · 3 forms (equity, convertible loan, top-up from Phase 1 shareholders) Full-set shop delayed 6 months · Phase 2 opens with a small Shop 2 per the handbook (≈70 M₩) from profit + remaining funds · no hasty loans K3
R14 Cosmetics / packaging stuck in legal for a long time High Low 화장품책임판매업 dossier takes more than 3 months One product goes the whole way · no revenue expected in Phase 1 Push to Phase 2, no effect on M1–M4 except "≥1 packaged product" → use licensed contract manufacturing for the tea bags K2 + K3
R15 Executive team disagreement on values / image Low High A values-related item postponed for more than 2 meetings What we never drop / what may bend written in advance (Workstream 3 §1) · values & community advisor listens from the start Three steps: 1 week of private talks → council → advisor review → vote by group (core values 3/3); once decided, all hold to it Council

6.2 Three response levels when the money turns bad — written in advance so hard times are not argued on emotion

Level Trigger Do Don't
Level 1 · Adjust Monthly net flow more than 3 M₩ below the base scenario for 1 month (outside M2–M5) K1 steps up counter gestures · K2 replaces 2 cups · push combos/sets early · weekly meeting extended by 15 minutes No cut to wages · no reduction in measures
Level 2 · Contract 2 consecutive months, or funds left < 65 M₩ before M12 Postpone cosmetics, packaging, fundraising · K1+K2 budget −40% · short shifts · no third person hired No hasty loans · no debt to suppliers · reserve untouched
Level 3 · Step back 3 consecutive months, or funds left < 50 M₩ Council 3/3 + advisors: step back a stage · change hours/premises · open the reserve conditionally (≤ 8 M₩ per draw, with a repayment plan) · if down to 40 M₩: orderly shop-closure plan, paying people and suppliers in full first No change to substance: real ingredients, paid in full, no health claims, no religion on packaging

6.3 What does not change however hard it gets — repeated from Workstream 3

Real ingredients, full measures · growers paid in full, wages on time · no health claims · no religion used as packaging · business side and giving side kept separate · Lane 1 does not talk about religion. May bend: number of cups, number of dishes, opening hours, event rhythm, pace between stages, timing of Lane 2, food, cosmetics.


7 · Plan-tracking rhythm

Rhythm Who Reads what Decides what
Weekly (closed Wednesday, approved Thursday, 30 minutes) Shop manager · 3 groups Three numbers: cash left vs reserve · cups/day & repeat rate · cost of goods/revenue Clear 1 blocker per workstream; trigger Level 1 if needed
Monthly Council · external accountant Table §5.2 actual vs plan · 4-group ratio · given-forward cups · workstream budgets Adjust workstream budgets within the pocket · Level 2
Stage (M2 · M3 · M10 · M12 · M18) Council + advisors §2 goals met/not met · §1 gates · dynamic cap table Open the next stage or step back · vesting · approve total ESOP
Quarterly K3 compiles, K1 publishes Regeneration report (trees, packaging, cups given) · short report for capital contributors —
Shareholders' meeting (M0 · M18 · extraordinary) All shareholders Capital-contribution minutes · 18-month report · Phase 2 issue Matters at shareholder level (Governance & Capital Structure §2.0)

Closing · A plan is a promise with a calendar

These eighteen months are not measured by the number of tasks done but by four things: cups people come back for, a shop that sustains itself, a handbook complete enough for someone else to open a second shop, and a real community with the cups it has given. The money is drawn straight through the slow season and the bad scenario alike — so that everyone puts in capital with understanding, and so that in hard times the whole house holds to one thing written in advance.

When the roots hold, the flower blooms.
