by deanpetersFree
Description
saas-economics-efficiency-metrics is a skill that determines whether a SaaS business model is viable and capital-efficient. It calculates unit economics, assesses profitability, looks at cash runway and helps decide when to scale and when to optimize. Metrics it covers include customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), payback, burn and the Rule of 40, which it reviews together. The skill is intended for fundraising, board reporting and weighing investment trade-offs, and it is useful for checking whether the model is financially sound before scaling paid acquisition, analyzing CAC payback, LTV and burn for a product, and preparing an efficiency check for a board deck. You pass the metrics or the question as the argument. The estimated time is 10 to 15 minutes, and the skill belongs to the finance and metrics theme of the product-manager-skills repository on GitHub.…
