i hate to break it to you, but net positive isn't exact here. the "energy in" used to calculate it is the energy of the actual photons, but to actually fire those lasers, you need 100 times the energy, so it's a net 1%
The fusion definition of "net positive" has always been heavily inflated so that investors and governments will actually put money into these dreams
