Methodology

Uncertainty is retained rather than hidden.

Methodology

Step	Method	Control
Source hierarchy	Current federal/state/utility primary sources first; commercial/industry evidence explicitly classified.	No uncited material figure.
Definition control	Stock, sales, shares, ports, sites and stations remain separate.	AFDC is the primary installed-stock denominator [afdc_fl].
Forecast	Apply 6%/10%/15% CAGR sensitivities to 2025 stock for five years.	Not an official forecast [evs_model].
Market sizing	TAM sourced; service window, independent consideration and launch reach are explicit EVS sensitivities.	Verified SAM null; executable SOM zero [evs_model].
Economics	Jobs × ARO; gross profit = revenue × margin; EBITDA = gross profit − opex; simple payback = capex/positive EBITDA.	Nominal USD, pre-tax, unlevered, no incentives [evs_model].
Decision rule	Reversible conditional go only after documentary gates.	No franchise offer during pilot [evs_model].

Florida EV parc age and out-of-warranty share	Can change service window.	Match VIN/model-year and warranty terms.
County stock and competitor capacity/wait times	Can change hub ranking.	Mystery-shop and geocode current records.
VIN/task access and parts lead time	Can invalidate service portfolio.	Run 50-VIN coverage test.
Exact Florida repair tax treatment by invoice line	Can change DMS and pricing.	Obtain written tax advice [sales_tax].
Site insurance, flood and utility costs	Can invalidate pilot economics.	Three bindable site/insurer/utility packages.
