Where does your school stop growing?
Every school has a size it can't grow past. Two numbers set it: how many students join each month, and how many quietly leave.

The mats are wiped, and you're at the desk wondering why your student count looks the same as it did three months ago.
It took me years to see it. The size of a school isn't a mystery. It's a number.
Here's yours.
Your numbers
The next 12 months
Your student count each month. Straight math on your numbers — not a forecast.
Same mat. Two ways to run it.
Running on memory · leaving
Running on a method · leaving
That's a year at full size — from keeping students you've already earned.
Six moves, in the order they pay back
Each estimate is worked out from your numbers. Keep scrolling to move through them.
How we estimate: each move trims the share who leave each month by the points shown, measured at today's size. The win-back assumes 1 in 10 recent leavers comes back. Real months run hot and cold — what matters is running the method every week.
The six moves work on paper. With Zivvy, they still happen on a busy Tuesday.
Most owners know what they'd do. The hard part is doing it at 9:40 on a Tuesday, after the last class. With the method written down in Zivvy, the alerts, calls and notes come up on schedule — you run them.

Questions owners ask
Is this a forecast?
No. It's straight math on the numbers you put in. Real months run hot and cold. The ceiling shows where your school settles if nothing changes.
Where does the number come from?
New students per month ÷ the share who leave each month. Twelve a month at 8% stops at 150. At 4%, the same twelve build to 300. More sign-ups raise the ceiling slowly. Keeping students raises it fast.
How do I work out how many leave?
Take the students who stopped paying last month and divide by your active students at the start of it. Not sure? Switch to 'As a count' and the calculator does the division.
What happens to my email?
It unlocks the dollar figures on this page, and we keep your numbers with it so anything after fits your school. Any email we send is one click to unsubscribe.
Do I need Zivvy to run the six moves?
No. Every move works with a notebook and a phone. In Zivvy they're written down and come up on schedule, so they still happen on a busy week.
