Example Output
Example 1: Unit Economics Summary CAC: $3,200 | LTV: $48,000 | Payback: 8.1 months | Gross Margin: 72% | Year 1 Cash Burn: $280K | Breakeven Month: 34
Example 2: Pricing Tier Comparison
| Tier | Monthly | ARR (100 customers) | Target Segment | Adoption Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199 | $238K | Self-serve, SMB | High adoption, low margin |
| Professional | $699 | $838K | Mid-market | Balanced |
| Enterprise | $2,999 | $3.6M | Enterprises | Low adoption, high CAC |
Example 3: Go-to-Market Risk Assessment High Risk: Direct sales motion with 60-day sales cycle on $299 product (CAC too high). Recommendation: Shift to self-serve with inbound + product-led trial, keep Direct for $1K+ deals only.
