Revenue Streams: Different ways the business will make money (e.g., direct sales, subscription fees, advertising, freemium models).
Financial Projections: Include projected revenue figures for the next 3-5 years.
Assumptions: Any assumptions made about market conditions, customer acquisition costs, and other factors influencing revenue.

EXAMPLES

Uber: Utilizes a dynamic pricing model, adjusting prices based on demand and supply conditions. This flexibility maximizes revenue potential during peak times.
