SaaS metrics & unit economics review

Each period an analyst computes the MRR waterfall, churn/retention, LTV/CAC, and cohorts from billing and product data and reports them vs goals — a reviewer re-derives the headline numbers before you sign off.

What it installs

Agents 2

  • Finance Analyst

    Owns recurring MRR waterfall, churn/retention, LTV/CAC, cohort, and north-star reporting.

  • Metrics Reviewer

    Independently verifies the metric calculations, cohort matrix, and driver attribution before the review reaches the human.

Teams 1

  • Metrics Team

    An analyst who computes and frames the metrics, and a reviewer who re-derives the headline numbers.

Workflows 1

  • SaaS metrics review

    Compute metrics, build cohorts and the review, re-derive the headline numbers, and approve.

Documents 1

  • KPI definitions & targets

    Your editable list of which metrics matter, their target thresholds, alert bands, and the north-star metric — the agent reads this as input and reports each metric against the targets you set here.

Goals 1

  • Unit economics healthy and trending right

    Keep unit economics visible, benchmarked, and trending in the right direction every period.

Skills 5

  • saas-metrics

    Compute core SaaS metrics from billing and product data: the MRR waterfall (new/expansion/contraction/churn), churn and NRR, LTV/CAC/payback, quick ratio, cohort retention, and an investor-ready dashboard. Adapted from claude-office-skills/skills/saas-metrics.

  • unit-economics

    Assess revenue quality and customer economics: ARR bridge, cohort vintages, LTV/CAC by segment, gross vs net retention, margin waterfall, and benchmarks (Rule of 40, magic number) into a revenue-quality score. Adapted from anthropics/financial-services/unit-economics.

  • metrics-review

    Run a structured metrics review: organize by a north-star/L1/L2 hierarchy, analyze trends and anomalies with attribution, and produce a scorecard plus bright spots, concerns, and recommended actions. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/metrics-review.

  • cohort-analysis

    Build cohort retention curves and feature-adoption trends, validate data quality, spot patterns (early churn, late-stage shifts, adoption clusters), and recommend follow-up research. Adapted from phuryn/pm-skills/cohort-analysis.

  • north-star-metric

    Define a north-star metric and 3–5 supporting input metrics: classify the business game (Attention/Transaction/Productivity) and validate the candidate against the seven criteria for an effective north star. Adapted from phuryn/pm-skills/north-star-metric.

Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to your accounting tool — The agent works in your accounting tool (QuickBooks, Xero) through its web interface in your browser to pull revenue, S&M spend, and gross-margin inputs, and pauses for your approval before making any changes. Until you connect it, it works from attached exports and the KPI definitions & targets document.
  • Metrics source data — Billing/subscription export (active subscriptions, plan values, new/expansion/contraction/churn events), product engagement events for activation and cohort retention, S&M spend and new-customer counts for CAC, and your metric goals/targets.
