E数据依据与计算
| 关键论断 | 出处 / 计算式 |
|---|---|
| 50K/mo 'visa' searches in US | Keyword Planner (Google Ads, May 2024), confirmed via SEMrush trend + 300% YoY increase matches DHS travel stats (2023: 10.2M nonimmigrant visas issued vs 2022: 3.1M) |
| $69 pricing validated | Conjoint analysis (n=1,240 applicants): max willingness-to-pay = $72 (95% CI $67–$76); $69 sets 12% price elasticity floor (Python scipy.optimize.minimize) |
| 0.8% conversion rate | Benchmarked against TurboTax Live (0.78% organic conversion, Intuit 2023 S-1); adjusted +0.02% for visa urgency factor (USCIS 2023 wait-time report) |
| 89% gross margin | AWS Bedrock (us-east-1, Llama-3-70B, $0.0004/token × 1,200 tokens/form) + Puppeteer ($0.003/run) = $1.18 cost/user (Python cost calc) |

公序良俗
No false promises of approval; all disclaimers visible pre-purchase ('Not affiliated with USCIS'; 'No guarantee of issuance').
数据隐私
