ltv-cac-modeling-framework

ltv-cac-modeling-framework is a skill for Claude Code from Ad-Superpowers/ad-superpowers-plugin. It costs 110 tokens per session (4,666 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for comparing the value a customer brings over time with the cost of acquiring that customer. LTV means customer lifetime value, while CAC means customer acquisition cost.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate LTV, set profitable CPA targets, evaluate LTV-to-CAC, estimate payback periods, and compare customer groups or channels.
Why use it?
It prevents businesses from judging advertising only by cheap conversions or immediate revenue. It helps show whether acquisition spending can remain profitable and how long it takes to recover.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ltv-cac-modeling-framework scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LTV:CAC Modeling Framework

Purpose

Provide advertisers and agencies with a rigorous framework for connecting customer lifetime value to acquisition cost, enabling profitable scaling decisions. Stop optimizing for cheap conversions and start optimizing for valuable customers.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke when user mentions:

  • LTV/CLV: "What's the lifetime value of my customers?"
  • CAC: "How much should I spend to acquire a customer?"
  • CPA targets: "What CPA is profitable?"
  • Budget ceilings: "How much can I afford to spend on ads?"
  • Payback period: "How long until I recover my acquisition cost?"
  • MER: "What's my marketing efficiency ratio?"
  • Cohort analysis: "How do customers from different channels compare?"
  • Sustainability: "Is my ad spend sustainable long-term?"

Part 1: LTV Calculation Methods

Method 1: Historic LTV (Simplest)

Historic LTV = Total Revenue from Customer Segment / Number of Customers in Segment

Example:
  Total revenue from 2024 customers: €500,000
  Number of customers acquired in 2024: 2,000
  Historic LTV = €500,000 / 2,000 = €250

Pros: Simple, uses real data. Cons: Backward-looking, doesn't account for future purchases, skewed by outliers.

When to use: Early-stage businesses with 6-12 months of data as a starting baseline.

Method 2: Predictive LTV (Recommended)

Predictive LTV = (Average Order Value) × (Purchase Frequency per Year) × (Customer Lifespan in Years)

Example:
  AOV: €65
  Purchases per year: 3.2
  Average customer lifespan: 2.5 years
  Predictive LTV = €65 × 3.2 × 2.5 = €520

Enriched formula (accounts for margin):

Gross Profit LTV = AOV × Gross Margin % × Purchase Frequency × Customer Lifespan

Example:
  AOV: €65, Margin: 55%, Frequency: 3.2/yr, Lifespan: 2.5yr
  Gross Profit LTV = €65 × 0.55 × 3.2 × 2.5 = €286

This is the number that matters for ad decisions — LTV based on gross profit, not revenue.

Method 3: Cohort-Based LTV (Most Accurate)
