(predictable income)

Revenue share

(percentage of class fees)

Auction/bidding system

(highest bidder secures slot)

No preference

How valuable would it be to auction your prime‑time weekly slots (e.g., evenings, weekends) to the highest bidder?

Not Valuable

Very Valuable

How important is predictable rental income (flat rates) compared to maximizing revenue through flexible pricing (auctions or revenue share)?

I value both equally

Flexibility/revenue maximization is more important

How important would it be to automatically verify that outside instructors have valid liability insurance before renting your space?

How useful would it be if all student waivers and agreements — including those for outside instructors — were managed digitally in one place, with your studio retaining access?

Not Useful

Very Useful

How appealing would it be if the platform collected student payments on your behalf and automatically distributed your share and the instructor’s share, based on terms you set?

(percentage of class fees)

(highest bidder secures slot)

Not Valuable

Very Valuable

How important is price predictability (knowing exactly what you'll pay each week/month) compared to flexibility (paying more for high‑demand slots, less for off‑peak)?

I value both equally

Flexibility is more important
