  • You set a maximum CAC with confidence.
  • You scale acquisition without sacrificing profit.
  • Under-estimated LTV leads to under-investment in growth.

What Your Numbers are Telling You

Most businesses look at revenue. Serious operators look at gross profit over time.
If your LTV is strong, you may be able to increase acquisition spend safely and capture more market share. If your LTV is weak, retention, AOV, and frequency improvements will likely outperform "more leads."
Small improvements in retention often outperform large increases in traffic. Growth compounds when LTV improves.
