Lacquer blank 70 EUR and cutting engineer 50,000 THB a month

Team figures, October 2026:
- revenue-model.md: a lacquer blank costs about 70 EUR, one per side, so
  ~160 USD a two-sided title before recuts; a cutting engineer costs about
  50,000 THB a month;
- fleet calculator: the lacquer assumption is now in EUR (70, one per
  side, converted at 1.155 USD per EUR; styli and recuts not included)
  and the cutting engineer 50,000 THB a month, both marked as team
  figures instead of estimates. At the defaults lacquers come to ~54k USD
  a year and direct cost to 1.88 USD a record (was 1.86).
