One thing I find interesting is that there is a greater then 50% chance that a viable SaaS business will grow to $1M ARR in less then 3 years (Time to $1M ARR chart) since the median is 3 years. So half the surviving companies are above the median, right?

However only 17% of businesses will reach $1M ARR within 3 years (Milestone Success Rate chart). I'm not sure what to make of those numbers. It feels like there is something missing here. Is one of those numbers accounting for failed businesses?
