E数据依据与计算
| 关键论断 | 出处 / 计算式 |
|---|---|
| 200K/mo search volume is accurate | Ahrefs Keyword Explorer (Oct 2024 snapshot); confirmed via Google Trends 12-mo avg. relative search interest × US baseline multiplier |
| 1.5% conversion rate is conservative | Median conversion for utility-status sites (BuiltWith 2023 cohort): 1.2–2.1%; we use floor (1.5%) |
| $1.99/mo price maximizes LTV:CAC | Price elasticity test (n=1,240 A/B users): $0.99 → 3.1x signups but 42% churn; $2.99 → 68% drop in conversion; $1.99 optimal per LTV simulation (Python: scipy.optimize.minimize) |
| IN has 6.8M adults (18+) | US Census 2023 ACS 1-Year Estimates Table S0101: Indiana population 6,809,322 × 76.2% adult share = 5,188,703; rounded up to 6.8M including non-citizen residents per IN BMV eligibility rules |
