Inference: scenarios and probabilities are Beyond's assessment, not reported fact.
Celebrity Equity Adoption Spike (40%)
Subs.com secures a significant influx of high-profile creator sign-ups within two quarters, allowing it to capture 10-15% of the premium fan-subscription market share from incumbents like OnlyFans.

- Subs.com reports a 50%+ increase in exclusive content revenue in the next monthly update.
