What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the time-consuming, error-prone manual work of calculating and assessing unit economics for private equity investment targets, providing a structured framework to evaluate customer profitability and revenue quality for SaaS, recurring revenue, and subscription businesses.
Core Features & Use Cases

- Cohort & Revenue Quality Analysis: Generates vintage cohort matrices to track revenue retention by acquisition year, and assesses revenue concentration, contract structure, and recurring revenue mix to identify quality risks.
- Benchmarking & Scoring: Compares metrics against industry best practices (e.g., SaaS Rule of 40, NDR thresholds) and produces a standardized revenue quality scorecard to highlight red flags for further due diligence.
