Traditional model vs AI model

Potential revenue calculation

Without AI platform:

• Average commission: €1,500 × 200 = €300,000
• Additional services: ~€0
• Total: €300,000

With AI platform:

• Average commission: €1,500 × 200 = €300,000
• IELTS/TOEFL preparation: €400 × 150 = €60,000
• CV/Documents services: €200 × 180 = €36,000
• Interview preparation: €250 × 100 = €25,000
• Total: €421,000 (+40%)
