What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must have a projector screen with a diagonal measure of at least 60 inches. Franchisees are allowed to purchase the projector screen from any source, provided it meets this minimum specification.
This requirement ensures that all Gokhale Method classes have a consistent and effective visual aid for instruction. By setting a minimum size, Gokhale Method aims to maintain a standard of clarity and visibility for students, regardless of the location.
While Gokhale Method specifies the minimum diagonal measurement for the projector screen, it does not provide further details regarding other specifications such as aspect ratio, screen type (e.g., matte white, grey), or gain. It would be prudent for a prospective franchisee to seek clarification from Gokhale Method regarding any preferred or recommended screen types or features that would optimize the viewing experience for students. This will help ensure that the chosen screen is appropriate for the typical class setting and content used in Gokhale Method instruction.
