I guess I'm not suggesting you necessarily have to charge the survival rate, but it's worth knowing the absolute least you could charge and still survive. It's just a "zero" to calibrate your expectations against, so when someone says "that sounds high" you know that it's not actually that silly, compared to your baseline.
