Frequently Asked Questions
Why look at unit economics separately from overall company profitability?
Unit economics reveal whether the core business model is fundamentally profitable on a per-customer basis, independent of fixed costs and overall scale, which is essential for understanding whether growth will eventually become profitable.
What does a negative profit after acquisition cost mean?
It means the business is currently losing money on every unit sold once acquisition cost is included, which is unsustainable long-term unless customers generate enough repeat purchases or lifetime value to eventually become profitable.
Should CAC be amortized over a single sale or customer lifetime?
For businesses with repeat customers, many operators amortize CAC across expected customer lifetime value rather than a single transaction, since a single purchase often does not fully recover the cost to acquire that customer.
