Monitor budget drift for team compliance.

When setting up new services, you need to know if the spending is getting out of hand. `analyze_mom_trend` checks CAC or total spend trends month-over-month. You can use this function call to write automated data validation tests. This ensures that any developer touching the budget logic knows immediately if performance is worsening (a positive trend), forcing a review.

Define optimal spending rules via code.

Don't let resource allocation be arbitrary. `assess_budget_efficiency` provides ranked channels and suggested budget splits, giving you the perfect input for team configuration files. It returns structured JSON with channel names, spend amounts, and calculated CACs. This capability helps enforce consistency across your codebase, making sure every developer uses the most efficient model.

Calculate foundational financial metrics.

Every service needs a clean baseline. Use `calculate_cac_metrics` to calculate both blended CAC and per-channel CAC for any given period's spending data. This is the core metric for your team. By passing a simple array of `{channelName, spendAmount}` objects, you generate reliable metrics that feed directly into reporting modules.
