Unit Economics Check in Copilot

When writing a new feature that affects profitability, use `calculate_contribution_margin` to confirm gross profit per customer. This tool helps your whole engineering team bake financial checks into the architecture. Commit this MCP Server configuration to the repo so every developer works off the same profitable baseline.

Predict Payback Period via Copilot

Before finalizing a feature, confirm its feasibility by calling `calculate_payback_period`. This function determines how long it takes for customer acquisition costs to pay back. It’s crucial for project scoping. The team can then use this metric in commit messages or JIRA updates, making profitability visible across the whole project.

Unit Health Validation with Copilot

Finalizing a module? Use `rate_health` to get an instant unit economics score. This MCP Server gives you a clear indicator of whether the feature maintains overall financial health. Having this validation step integrated means nobody merges code that might tank your LTV:CAC ratio.
