SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Quick Start

Analyze my SaaS inputs and return LTV, CAC, payback period, gross and contribution margins, burn rate, runway, Rule of 40, and prioritized recommendations given the revenue, COGS, churn, ARPU, S&M spend, and cash balance I provide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate SaaS unit economics like LTV, CAC, and payback period?

Evaluate SaaS capital efficiency by analyzing your burn rate, runway, and Rule of 40 against standard benchmarks. The Skill calculates these metrics from your cash balance and OpEx inputs to surface red-flag cash risks and identify if your business is capital-efficient.

Can I analyze channel and segment-level SaaS unit economics?

Analyze channel and segment-level SaaS unit economics by breaking down ARPU, churn, and S&M spend by specific acquisition channels. This diagnoses which segments yield positive ROI and surfaces red-flag conditions with prioritized, action-oriented fixes.

What inputs do I need to assess SaaS capital efficiency and burn rate?

To assess SaaS capital efficiency and burn rate, you need revenue, COGS, churn, ARPU, S&M spend, and cash balance inputs. Providing these allows the Skill to calculate runway, magic number, operating leverage, and contribution margins.

How do I get actionable recommendations for improving SaaS payback period and runway?

Get actionable recommendations for improving SaaS payback period and runway by analyzing your cash timing and S&M spend. The Skill provides concrete short, medium, and long-term actions like pausing acquisition, slowing hiring, or changing payment terms.
