GLOSSARY DOCUMENT CONTROL (FOOTER) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE ================================================================================ This document is the master outline of the Daralbeida business plan. It defines the venture concept, market thesis, product architecture, organisational design, funding request, and financial plan for introducing premium Moroccan extra virgin olive oil to the US market. It serves as the single coordinating index for all referenced strategy, operations, compliance, financial, and legal documents in the plan suite. Scope: this is a working draft carrying explicit open-item flags. Several sections require revision and two subsections are not yet drafted. Section 2 (Open Items, Not Final) and Section 12 (Section Status Summary) record the exact state of every section so that no figure is treated as final before its dependencies are resolved. The most material open dependency is Subsection 10.3 (P&L Statement), whose finalised COGS unblocks Subsections 10.4 and 10.5 and confirms the EBITDA and margin lines used elsewhere. Confidentiality: this outline is classified Internal, Confidential, Trade Secret. It contains references to four registered trade secrets under DAB-TS-2026-01. Not for distribution without written consent. ================================================================================ 2. OPEN ITEMS, NOT FINAL ================================================================================ The following open items are tracked against the body sections. Status symbols are spelled out: NEEDS REVISION, NOT DRAFTED, DRAFT (open item noted), and TO BE ADDED. 2.1 NEEDS REVISION Section 3 (Executive Summary) header flag, and Subsection 3.4 (Financial Highlights) table. Gross revenue uses $32 flat launch price. Correct model: staged pricing $26 launch to $28-29 demand-signal to $32 brand-equity. Net revenue uses old flat 23% Amazon fee. Correct model: referral 15% + FBA $3.22 fixed. Update after Subsection 10.3 is finalised. Subsection 8.2 (Sales Strategy), DTC margin claim. DTC margin claim of ~58% gross vs ~42% FBA is incorrect. DTC unit economics in Year 2 are likely worse than Amazon after real outbound shipping costs (~$6-9/unit). Revise before investor distribution. Subsection 10.2 (Revenue Forecast). Body text still uses flat 23% fee deduction. Corrected net revenue figures (Y1 $88.1K / Y2 $289.3K / Y3 $544.9K) reflected in charts but not in text. Text must be updated to match. Subsection 10.3 (P&L Statement). Drafted against old net revenue figures. COGS, gross margin, and EBITDA lines all require rebuilding. EBITDA targets (-$43,400 / +$42,100 / +$126,800) may survive, to verify once COGS is rebuilt. 2.2 NOT DRAFTED Subsection 10.4 (Cash Flow Projection). Blocked on finalised Subsection 10.3 COGS. Required inputs: cash deployment schedule by phase, lead time to first revenue (8-12 weeks from shipment), reorder trigger logic, working capital per shipment cycle. Subsection 10.5 (Break-Even Analysis). Blocked on finalised contribution margin from Subsection 10.3. Provisional targets: ~8,200 units / ~$262,000 revenue / Early Year 2. 2.3 DRAFT, OPEN ITEM NOTED Section 4 (Company Description). Pending final legal structure confirmation: Delaware Holdings LLC vs California LLC question. Section 5 (Market Analysis). Competitive pricing to be verified against live Amazon listings before finalisation. Section 7 (Product Line). Origin claim rule in effect: Morocco only, no region, sub-region, mountain range, or coordinates until a specific estate is contracted and verified. Subsection 8.1 (Marketing Strategy). ACoS targets and PPC budget allocation pending Subsection 10.3 revision. Subsection 8.3 (Pricing Strategy). Channel pricing matrix (Subsection 8.3.4) still to be added. Section 9 (Funding Request). Deal structure (convertible note vs SAFE) to be confirmed with US trade counsel. Investment entity (Holdings vs Brands LLC) pending legal advice. 2.4 TO BE ADDED Subsection 6.3 (Quality Management System) and Subsection 6.4 (Advisory Board). ================================================================================ 3.

Pricing: staged architecture of $26 launch, [DEMAND_SIGNAL_PRICE] demand-signal, $32 brand-equity. Amazon fees: [REFERRAL_PCT] referral on net sale price plus a fixed [FBA_FEE] FBA fulfillment fee per unit. Unit volumes by year: Year 1 [Y1_UNITS], Year 2 [Y2_UNITS], Year 3 [Y3_UNITS]. COGS per unit: [COGS_UNIT]. Fixed operating costs by year: [Y1_OPEX], [Y2_OPEX], [Y3_OPEX]. Produce a table with columns Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and rows: unit volume, gross revenue, Amazon fees, net revenue, COGS, gross margin percent, operating expenses, and EBITDA. Then state the break-even unit volume and break-even revenue, and the calendar quarter break-even is reached. Flag any figure that deviates from the current draft targets (net revenue $88,100 / $289,300 / $544,900; EBITDA -$43,400 / +$42,100 / +$126,800) and explain the variance. ================================================================================ END OF PROMPT ================================================================================ ================================================================================ 14.
