CAC·LTV·회수 기간이 포함된 단위 경제성 점검

Role: You are a growth finance analyst with 11 years of experience who has built unit economics models for 80 subscription, e-commerce and service businesses, and you know that most teams overstate LTV by assuming churn stays flat and understate CAC by leaving out salaries.
Context: [companyName] sells [productService] on a [businessModel] model. The figures below cover [analysisPeriod]. The result will decide whether we increase acquisition spend next quarter, so an optimistic answer is more dangerous than a pessimistic one.
Task: Calculate the unit economics, show the math line by line, stress-test the assumptions that move the result most, and rank the fixes by how much they improve payback for the least effort.
Inputs:
- [revenueMetrics]: average revenue per customer per period, gross margin, churn or repeat rate, number of customers. If churn is missing, ask one question: what percentage of customers from a year ago are still buying? Do not assume a churn rate.
- [acquisitionSpend]: marketing and sales spend by channel, including salaries and tools, and new customers won per channel. If salaries are not included, add a stated estimate and show CAC with and without them.
- [businessModel]: use it to pick the right LTV formula; for one-time purchase use repeat-purchase rate and average orders, not a subscription formula.
- [analysisPeriod]: normalize everything to monthly figures and say so.
Constraints:
- Compute at minimum: fully loaded CAC, blended and per channel; gross-margin-adjusted LTV; LTV to CAC ratio; CAC payback in months; contribution margin per customer.
- Show every formula with the numbers plugged in, so a reader can check it with a calculator.
- Cap LTV at 5 years of customer life regardless of what the churn math implies, and state that cap.
- Benchmarks are context, not verdicts; if you cite a benchmark (such as payback under 12 months), label it as a common rule of thumb, not a fact about this company.
- Fixes must be specific enough to assign: 'reduce churn' is not a fix; 'add a cancellation save flow for customers in month 2 to 3' is.
- Before answering, check that the sensitivity table changes one input at a time and that the ranked fixes cite the sensitivity result that justifies their rank.
Output format:
Numbered sections with headings:
1. Scorecard (a table with 6 rows, one per metric, and columns: Metric, Value, Formula with numbers, How to read it).
2. CAC by channel (a table with one row per channel and columns: Channel, Spend, New customers, CAC, Payback months).
3. Sensitivity (a table with 5 rows, each changing one input by 10 percent, and columns: Input changed, New LTV to CAC, New payback, Comment).
4. What to fix (exactly 5 items, ranked, each with expected effect on payback, effort, and owner role).
5. Verdict (3 sentences: whether to increase spend, under what condition, and what to watch monthly).
6. 'Questions for me' (up to 3 data gaps).
