Key terms

CAC

Sales and marketing cost required to acquire a customer.

CLV

Expected gross profit contributed over the customer relationship.

MRR

Normalized monthly recurring subscription revenue.

Worked decision example

A high CLV:CAC ratio can still conceal cash pressure when CAC payback is slow or churn is worsening.

Common decision mistakes

  • Keep metric definitions consistent across periods.
  • Separate customer churn from revenue churn.
  • Use cohort evidence when available.
