What does “demand already built” mean?
Paid or contractually committed recurring revenue measured against the location's own Opening Demand Target. Leads, followers and expressions of interest are useful inputs, but they are not treated as committed demand.
When should I apply?
At least 12 weeks before opening is ideal. You can still apply earlier or later; the application helps us judge whether the diagnostic is useful at your current stage.
Can I apply if this is my first studio?
Yes. The page leads with experienced operators because expansion launches are the clearest fit, but serious first-time founders are welcome to apply.
Is this done for me?
No. This is done-with-you implementation. Merivo helps build and challenge the plan; you and your team execute the campaign and sales work.
Is the diagnostic a sales call?
No. You leave with the Opening Demand Plan and pre-sale order of work whether or not you buy further help.
What happens after I apply?
We reply within two working days. If the diagnostic looks useful for the launch, we send a private payment and booking link. Applying does not commit you or ask for payment.
How does the sprint credit work?
Continue into the eight-week sprint within 14 days and the full $750 diagnostic fee comes off the $5,000 total, leaving $4,250 to pay.
