What this quick estimate assumes

Total expenses are split 40% COGS / 60% operating expenses. If owner compensation is larger than that 60%, operating expenses are set to the owner compensation and COGS is reduced, so total expenses stay the same. It assumes 3–5 years in business, flat revenue and no other add-backs. Because the cost split is assumed, gross margin is not compared with the industry.
