Why this decision matters

Market context

What the executive report delivers

Primary evidence

  • A 6.7-month payback and 3.93x LTV:CAC support disciplined growth.
  • A 62.1% contribution margin provides useful operating resilience.
  • Data quality of 96/100 makes the base case suitable for management action.

Risks and governance conditions

  • Track acquisition cohort payback and churn before releasing each growth tranche.
  • Reconcile subscription and ad-tier contribution monthly against the forecast.

Recommended actions

  • Scale the most efficient acquisition channels first.
  • Protect CTV inventory quality while expanding direct demand.
