How this works:

Each month, 250 new customers arrive. In the gray scenario, they all buy once and never return. In the teal scenario, 30% of them subscribe (recurring monthly with 92% retention), while the remaining 70% still buy once. Subscribers keep paying each month, so revenue compounds over time.
