This is an illustrative report for a fictional mid-market B2B SaaS company, shown so you can see exactly what you receive after completing the assessment. Demand generation is producing enough raw volume, but conversion from attended meeting to opportunity and from proposal to closed won is behind the cohort median, so a large share of created pipeline never converts. Unit economics are workable — gross margin and retention sit near the cohort median — while CAC payback is longer than most peers at this stage. The fastest available gain is qualification discipline before a meeting is booked, followed by a tighter proposal and follow-up process. Every figure below is calculated from the sample inputs using the same engine applied to real submissions.

Derived ratios

Calculated from your inputs, with what each one means for the business.

LTV : CAC

3.30×

Healthy

How it's calculated: lifetime value ÷ CAC

How much lifetime gross profit each customer returns for every $1 spent acquiring them. Above 3x means acquisition is paying for itself and you can safely spend more; below 3x means growth is expensive and margin-thin.

Return on acquisition spend (ROI)

228.4%

Healthy

How it's calculated: (lifetime value − CAC) ÷ CAC × 100

The profit you earn back on every dollar of acquisition spend, after that spend is repaid. 200% means each $1 of CAC returns $2 of gross profit on top of itself. Negative ROI means you lose money on every customer you win.

Magic number

0.90×

Healthy

How it's calculated: (net new MRR × 12) ÷ monthly sales & marketing spend

How much annualised new recurring revenue each dollar of sales and marketing spend produces. Above 0.75 usually justifies spending more; below 0.5 signals the engine should be fixed before adding budget.

CAC payback period

10.4 months

Strong

How it's calculated: CAC ÷ monthly gross profit per customer

How many months of gross profit it takes to earn back acquisition cost. Shorter payback frees cash sooner and lets you reinvest in the next campaign; long payback ties cash up and slows growth.

Gross margin

78%

Healthy

How it's calculated: Reported directly by the user.

The share of revenue left after delivering your product or service. This is the money that actually funds sales, marketing and profit — low margin caps how much you can afford to spend on growth.

Net margin

14%

Healthy

How it's calculated: Reported directly by the user.

The share of revenue left as profit after every cost, including sales, marketing and overhead. It shows whether your current growth is actually self-funding or being paid for out of reserves.

Net revenue retention

104%

Healthy

How it's calculated: Reported directly by the user.

Revenue from existing customers a year later, including expansion and churn. Above 100% means the base grows on its own; below 100% means new sales must first replace lost revenue.

Monthly customer churn

0.4%

Strong

How it's calculated: Reported directly by the user.

The share of customers lost each month. Every point of churn is revenue your team has to re-win before growing, and it directly shortens customer lifetime value.

Pipeline coverage ratio

1.20×

Needs attention

How it's calculated: open pipeline value ÷ revenue closed in the same period

Open pipeline compared with the revenue you need to close. Roughly 3x coverage gives normal win rates enough room to hit target; less than that makes the number dependent on a few deals.

Average revenue per deal

$32,000

No benchmark

How it's calculated: closed-won revenue ÷ deals won

Typical deal size. It sets how many wins you need each month and determines how much you can justifiably spend to acquire one customer.

Biggest pipeline leak

Opportunity → won

7.1pp below median

Opportunity → won converts at 16.2% against a cohort median of 23.3%. Closing that gap alone is worth about 21 more customers per reporting period.

Improving this stage to the cohort median could produce approximately 212 additional attended meetings, 130 opportunities and 21 customers per reporting period.

Modelled estimate

Each stage is lifted to the cohort median in turn while every other stage is held at your reported rate, and the extra deals are priced at your average contract value. The stage worth the most revenue is the constraint.

Top three priorities

  1. 1GTM Strategy & ICP

    Tighten qualification before a meeting is booked

    Problem
    Only a minority of attended meetings become opportunities, so sales time is spent on prospects who were never a fit.
    Evidence
    121 attended meetings produced 74 opportunities in the reporting period, below the cohort median conversion.
    Benchmark gap
    Meeting → opportunity sits under the cohort median for this segment.
    Recommended action
    Apply a written qualification checklist at booking time, and require a named business problem plus a confirmed decision process before a meeting is accepted.
    Expected impact
    Likely to increase opportunity quality and reduce time spent on unqualified meetings.
    Timeframe
    30 days
  2. 2Sales Enablement

    Rebuild the proposal and follow-up sequence

    Problem
    Proposals stall after they are sent, with no consistent follow-up cadence or mutual close plan.
    Evidence
    41 proposals produced 12 closed-won deals in the same period.
    Benchmark gap
    Proposal → won trails the cohort median.
    Recommended action
    Standardise a proposal template with pricing rationale, and attach a mutual action plan with dated next steps and a scheduled review call.
    Expected impact
    Likely to shorten late-stage cycle time and lift close rate on live proposals.
    Timeframe
    60 days
  3. 3Demand Generation

    Shorten CAC payback with channel reallocation

    Problem
    Acquisition cost recovers slowly relative to peers, which constrains how fast new spend can be added.
    Evidence
    CAC of $21,400 against an average contract value of $32,000.
    Benchmark gap
    CAC payback is longer than the cohort median.
    Recommended action
    Report pipeline and closed-won by channel monthly, then shift budget from the highest-cost channel into the two with the shortest payback.
    Expected impact
    Likely to improve payback period and marginal efficiency of new spend.
    Timeframe
    90 days
