The SLA measured five types of capital: human, natural, financial, physical, and social, using specific indicators. The results indicated that physical capital contributed the most to the sustainability of the business, with a score of 87.49. Conversely, human capital was the lowest, scoring 65.28, signaling a need for improvement in human resource capabilities, particularly in cultivation technology, to ensure long-term sustainability. The overall multimodal average score of 78.41 classified the business as sustainable, with robust support from all five capitals—natural, financial, physical, human, and social. This support helps create economic opportunities for the community, underscoring the potential of the catfish budikdamber business.
