What makes a track different?
Business decisions usually fail because the numbers are run in the wrong order. People price before calculating expenses, hire before checking revenue stability, choose S-corp before modeling salary and admin, buy software before assigning ownership, and forecast revenue before checking payment timing.
Kefiw tracks put the calculators in sequence so the decision gets clearer step by step.
Track methodology
Each track uses calculators, scenario presets, decision checkpoints, result states, scorecards, templates, and "what most advice leaves out" sections. The goal is not fake certainty. The goal is to show which assumptions are strong enough to act on and which ones need more work.
