What to check before buying FaceKit
- FlagShort operating historyThe business was founded 9 months ago. Recurring revenue at that age is impressive but unproven — retention curves haven't had time to settle.
- WatchLow ARPU (~$4)Sub-$5 ARPU means high churn sensitivity and heavy support load per dollar. Fine, but plan for it.
- CheckVerify Stripe / payment providerEvery dollar of claimed revenue should be visible in the connected payment dashboard on a screen-share. Don't rely on screenshots alone.
