Celebree Schools is the unambiguous choice here, and the dimension that decides it is TAM. With 72 total units and 44 franchised, you have a real, sellable base of independent operators—each one a potential seat for your POS, scheduling, and back-office stack. Abbey Road Institute’s single franchised unit is a rounding error. Even if you captured 100% of that brand, you’d close one deal. TAM wins before any other factor comes into play, and the gap isn’t close.

The only dimension where Abbey Road looks interesting on paper is budget—its royalty rate is 12
