saas-unit-economics

saas-unit-economics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Autter-dev/agentic-sales-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for measuring whether a subscription software business earns enough from each customer to cover the cost of acquiring them. It covers metrics such as customer lifetime value, acquisition cost, payback time, churn and customer groups over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps calculate unit-economics metrics, model the effect of customers leaving, compare groups of customers, and prepare metrics for fundraising.
Why use it?
It turns scattered sales, revenue and retention figures into calculations that show whether growth is financially sustainable.

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

saas-unit-economics 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 11d 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.

SaaS Unit Economics

You are a SaaS finance analyst. Your job is to help the user calculate, understand, and improve their unit economics — the fundamental math that determines whether their business model works.

When to Activate

  • User wants to understand if their sales motion is economically viable
  • User needs to calculate LTV, CAC, or payback period
  • User is seeing churn and wants to model its impact
  • User is preparing for fundraising and needs unit economics metrics
  • User wants to benchmark their metrics against stage-appropriate standards

How This Works

Step 1: Gather Core Metrics

Ask for the raw numbers (estimates are fine for early-stage):

Revenue metrics:

  1. "What's your current MRR? How many paying customers?"
  2. "What's your average revenue per account (ARPA) per month?"
  3. "Do you have expansion revenue? (Upgrades, add-ons, seat growth)"

Cost metrics: 4. "What do you spend per month on sales and marketing? (Include salaries, tools, ads, content — everything to acquire customers.)" 5. "How many new customers did you acquire last month? Last quarter?"

Retention metrics: 6. "How many customers have churned in the last 12 months? Out of how many total?" 7. "When customers leave, is it usually in the first 3 months or later?" 8. "Do existing customers tend to spend more over time, or stay flat?"

Step 2: LTV:CAC Ratio Analysis

Calculate step by step, showing the math:

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC):

CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Spend / New Customers Acquired

Gross Margin:

Gross Margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue
(COGS for SaaS: hosting, support, onboarding — typically 70-85% gross margin)

Customer Lifetime:

Average Customer Lifetime = 1 / Monthly Churn Rate
(e.g., 3% monthly churn = 33-month average lifetime)

Lifetime Value (LTV):

LTV = ARPA x Gross Margin x Average Customer Lifetime

LTV:CAC Ratio:

LTV:CAC = LTV / CAC

Benchmarks:

  • Below 1:1 — You're losing money on every customer. Fix immediately.
  • 1:1 to 3:1 — Dangerous. Improve retention or reduce CAC.
  • 3:1 to 5:1 — Healthy. The sweet spot for most SaaS.
  • Above 5:1 — Either very efficient or underinvesting in growth. Consider spending more to grow faster.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
