What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams determine whether a SaaS business model is financially viable and capital-efficient by calculating unit economics and identifying cash risks that block safe scaling decisions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Metric Calculations: Compute CAC, LTV (simple and margin-adjusted), LTV:CAC, payback period, gross and contribution margins, burn rate, and runway.
- Efficiency Diagnostics & Benchmarks: Evaluate Rule of 40, magic number, operating leverage, channel- and segment-level unit economics, and surface red-flag conditions with prioritized fixes.
- Actionable Recommendations: Provide concrete short-, medium-, and long-term actions (e.g., change payment terms, reallocate S&M, raise capital, slow hiring) based on cash timing and payback analysis.
- Use Case: Prepare a board-ready memo to justify pausing or scaling paid acquisition by demonstrating payback, runway impact, and channel-level ROI.
