Analyze unit economics for PE targets — ARR cohorts, LTV/CAC, net retention, payback periods, revenue quality, and margin waterfall. Essential for software/SaaS, recurring revenue, and subscription businesses. Use when evaluating revenue quality, building a cohort analysis, or assessing customer economics. Triggers on "unit economics", "cohort analysis", "ARR analysis", "LTV CAC", "net retention", "revenue quality", or "customer economics".
Calculate, understand, and improve the unit economics of a solopreneur business. Use when figuring out if the business is actually profitable per customer, when CAC or LTV numbers are needed, when evaluating whether a pricing or acquisition strategy is sustainable, or when making data-driven decisions about marketing spend and pricing. Covers CAC, LTV, payback period, contribution margin, and the feedback loops between them. Trigger on "unit economics", "CAC", "customer acquisition cost", "LTV", "lifetime value", "payback period", "is my business profitable", "contribution margin", "am I making money per customer", "should I spend more on marketing".
Analyze unit economics to evaluate per-unit profitability and business model scalability. Use this skill when the user needs to assess whether each transaction, customer, or product unit is profitable, evaluate startup viability, or optimize contribution margins — even if they say 'does our business model work', 'what's our margin per order', or 'can we scale profitably'.
Use when evaluating business model viability, analyzing profitability per customer/product/transaction, validating startup metrics (CAC, LTV, payback period), making pricing decisions, assessing scalability, comparing business models, or when user mentions unit economics, CAC/LTV ratio, contribution margin, customer profitability, break-even analysis, or needs to determine if a business can be profitable at scale.
Compute a business's CAC and ROAS family metrics from real spend and outcome data, then judge whether the spend is healthy against three references - the business's own break-even, its own trailing history, and provenance-labelled external benchmarks - returning healthy, watch, unhealthy, or insufficient evidence. Use whenever the user asks whether their CAC is too high, whether a ROAS is good, what ROAS to aim for, whether ads are profitable, or mentions MER, blended CAC, payback period, or a spend health check - even if they never say 'benchmark'. Covers B2B/SaaS (cost per SQL, cost per closed-won, cohort lag) and B2C/ecommerce. Do NOT use to set those thresholds as policy - use mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-spend-guardrails instead.
Evaluate acquisition channels using unit economics, customer quality, and scalability. Recommends scale/test/kill decisions.
Use this skill when users need to stress test their business model, identify scale limitations, find bottlenecks, determine if they're trading time for money, or evaluate unit economics. Activates for "can this scale," "what breaks at 10x," or business model viability questions.
Financial leadership for startups and scaling companies. Financial modeling, unit economics, fundraising strategy, cash management, and board financial packages. Use when building financial models, analyzing unit economics, planning fundraising, managing cash runway, preparing board materials, or when user mentions CFO, burn rate, runway, fundraising, unit economics, LTV, CAC, term sheets, or financial strategy.
Use this skill when building financial models, DCF analyses, revenue forecasts, scenario analyses, or cap tables. Triggers on DCF, LBO, revenue forecasting, scenario analysis, cap tables, financial projections, valuation, unit economics, and any task requiring financial model design or analysis.
Analyzes unit economics by product or service using PayPal merchant insights and QuickBooks cost data, benchmarks against inflation and cost changes, and shows pricing-scenario data (e.g. "a 5% increase historically correlates with ~3% volume drop"). Surfaces analysis only — does not recommend a price. Use when the user asks about raising prices, pricing, margin analysis, what to charge, whether costs are eating into profit, or how a price change might affect their business. Trigger even if the user doesn't say "margin" explicitly — phrases like "am I making enough?", "should I charge more?", or "my costs are going up" all call for this skill.
Model the unit economics of one partner relationship - partner P&L, margin modeling, cost-to-serve, referral-fee and lifetime-value split, channel partner ROI, partner CAC vs direct CAC, ramp and payback - to decide whether to sign, scale, renegotiate, or exit that partner. Covers B2B channel and alliance partners plus B2C affiliate and creator economics. Use whenever the user mentions partnership unit economics, a single-partner business case, reseller, VAR, MSP, OEM or marketplace deal economics, revenue-share and margin-stack analysis, or asks whether a partner is worth pursuing, even if they never say economics. Do NOT use for ranking a portfolio of candidates - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@alliance-prioritization instead.
This skill should be used when the user asks about "key startup metrics", "SaaS metrics", "CAC and LTV", "unit economics", "burn multiple", "rule of 40", "marketplace metrics", or requests guidance on tracking and optimizing business performance metrics.
