FAQ
Questions Payback Period Analysis owners ask.
- 01
How does the payback period calculation work?
The capability calculates the monthly gross margin by applying your margin percentage to the ARPU. It then tracks the cumulative profit month-over-month, accounting for any expansion rate, until it meets or exceeds the initial CAC.
- 02
What is included in the budget optimization capability?
The optimize_budget_allocation capability takes your ranked channel efficiencies and a total budget to suggest a distribution strategy that prioritizes channels with the shortest payback periods while respecting minimum allocation constraints.
- 03
Can I account for customer expansion in my projections?
Yes, when using calculate_payback_curves, you can provide an expansion rate. This allows the capability to project how monthly revenue grows over time due to upselling or cross-selling.
