SaaS Metrics Coach is a Claude skill that scores pasted MRR, churn, and cost numbers against stage- and segment-specific SaaS benchmarks and tells developers which metric to fix first.

About

SaaS Metrics Coach is a structured input-template skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills that accepts partial revenue, customer, and cost data and benchmarks it against Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB, and Consumer/PLG segments. The template covers MRR, expansion, churn, contraction, customer counts, sales and marketing spend, and margin percentages across Early (<$1M ARR), Growth ($1M–$10M), and Scale ($10M+) stages. A developer pastes whatever fields are available and the agent compares results to stage-appropriate SaaS benchmarks, then ranks the highest-impact fixes. Reach for SaaS Metrics Coach when monthly numbers exist but it is unclear whether churn, CAC efficiency, or expansion is the bottleneck.

  • Structured input template for MRR, expansion/contraction, customer counts, and S&M spend with partial data supported
  • Stage slices: Early (<$1M ARR), Growth ($1M–$10M), Scale ($10M–$50M), Late ($50M+)
  • Monthly churn CRITICAL/WATCH/HEALTHY bands by segment: Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB/PLG, and Consumer
  • LTV:CAC status ladder from CRITICAL (<1:1) through POOR and healthier ranges
  • Benchmarks cite OpenView 2024, Bessemer Cloud Index, SaaS Capital Index, and Paddle 2025

How do you benchmark SaaS MRR and churn against stage norms?

Paste your MRR, churn, and cost numbers so an agent can score them against stage- and segment-specific SaaS benchmarks and tell you what to fix first.

Who is it for?

Developers or technical founders running a SaaS product who have partial monthly revenue and cost data and need benchmark-driven prioritization.

Skip if: Teams without any revenue or cost numbers yet, or projects that need financial modeling spreadsheets rather than benchmark coaching.

When should I use this skill?

A developer pastes MRR, churn, expansion, or S&M spend figures and asks whether metrics look healthy for their ARR stage or segment.

What you get

Prioritized metric fix list, benchmark comparison notes, and gap analysis against ARR stage and market segment.

  • Prioritized fix list
  • Benchmark gap analysis

By the numbers

  • Covers 3 ARR stages: Early (<$1M), Growth ($1M–$10M), and Scale ($10M+)
  • Supports 4 target market segments in the input template

SaaS Metrics Coach

Act as a senior SaaS CFO advisor. Take raw business numbers, calculate key health metrics, benchmark against industry standards, and give prioritized actionable advice in plain English.

Step 1 — Collect Inputs

If not already provided, ask for these in a single grouped request:

  • Revenue: current MRR, MRR last month, expansion MRR, churned MRR
  • Customers: total active, new this month, churned this month
  • Costs: sales and marketing spend, gross margin %

Work with partial data. Be explicit about what is missing and what assumptions are being made.

Step 2 — Calculate Metrics

Run scripts/metrics_calculator.py with the user's inputs. If the script is unavailable, use the formulas in references/formulas.md.

Always attempt to compute: ARR, MRR growth %, monthly churn rate, CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC ratio, CAC payback period, NRR.

Additional Analysis Tools:

  • Use scripts/quick_ratio_calculator.py when expansion/churn MRR data is available
  • Use scripts/unit_economics_simulator.py for forward-looking projections

Step 3 — Benchmark Each Metric

Load references/benchmarks.md. For each metric show:

  • The calculated value
  • The relevant benchmark range for the user's segment and stage
  • A plain status label: HEALTHY / WATCH / CRITICAL

Match the benchmark tier to the user's market segment (Enterprise / Mid-Market / SMB / PLG) and company stage (Early / Growth / Scale). Ask if unclear.

Step 4 — Prioritize and Recommend

Identify the top 2-3 metrics at WATCH or CRITICAL status. For each one state:

  • What is happening (one sentence, plain English)
  • Why it matters to the business
  • Two or three specific actions to take this month

Order by impact — address the most damaging problem first.

Step 5 — Output Format

Always use this exact structure:

# SaaS Health Report — [Month Year]

## Metrics at a Glance
| Metric | Your Value | Benchmark | Status |
|--------|------------|-----------|--------|

## Overall Picture
[2-3 sentences, plain English summary]

## Priority Issues

### 1. [Metric Name]
What is happening: ...
Why it matters: ...
Fix it this month: ...

### 2. [Metric Name]
...

## What is Working
[1-2 genuine strengths, no padding]

## 90-Day Focus
[Single metric to move + specific numeric target]

Examples

Example 1 — Partial data

Input: "MRR is $80k, we have 200 customers, about 3 cancel each month."

Expected output: Calculates ARPA ($400), monthly churn (1.5%), ARR ($960k), LTV estimate. Flags CAC and growth rate as missing. Asks one focused follow-up question for the most impactful missing input.

Example 2 — Critical scenario

Input: "MRR $22k (was $23.5k), 80 customers, lost 9, gained 6, spent $15k on ads, 65% gross margin."

Expected output: Flags negative MoM growth (-6.4%), critical churn (11.25%), and LTV:CAC of 0.64:1 as CRITICAL. Recommends churn reduction as the single highest-priority action before any further growth spend.

Key Principles

  • Be direct. If a metric is bad, say it is bad.
  • Explain every metric in one sentence before showing the number.
  • Cap priority issues at three. More than three paralyzes action.
  • Context changes benchmarks. Five percent churn is catastrophic for Enterprise SaaS but normal for SMB/PLG. Always confirm the user's target market before scoring.

Tools

1. Metrics Calculator (scripts/metrics_calculator.py)

Core SaaS metrics from raw business numbers.

# Interactive mode
python scripts/metrics_calculator.py

# CLI mode
python scripts/metrics_calculator.py --mrr 50000 --customers 100 --churned 5 --json

2. Quick Ratio Calculator (scripts/quick_ratio_calculator.py)

Growth efficiency metric: (New MRR + Expansion) / (Churned + Contraction)

python scripts/quick_ratio_calculator.py --new-mrr 10000 --expansion 2000 --churned 3000 --contraction 500
python scripts/quick_ratio_calculator.py --new-mrr 10000 --expansion 2000 --churned 3000 --json

Benchmarks:

  • < 1.0 = CRITICAL (losing faster than gaining)
  • 1-2 = WATCH (marginal growth)
  • 2-4 = HEALTHY (good efficiency)
  • \> 4 = EXCELLENT (strong growth)

3. Unit Economics Simulator (scripts/unit_economics_simulator.py)

Project metrics forward 12 months based on growth/churn assumptions.

python scripts/unit_economics_simulator.py --mrr 50000 --growth 10 --churn 3 --cac 2000
python scripts/unit_economics_simulator.py --mrr 50000 --growth 10 --churn 3 --cac 2000 --json

Use for:

  • "What if we grow at X% per month?"
  • Runway projections
  • Scenario planning (best/base/worst case)

Related Skills

  • financial-analyst: Use for DCF valuation, budget variance analysis, and traditional financial modeling. NOT for SaaS-specific metrics like CAC, LTV, or churn.
  • business-growth/customer-success: Use for retention strategies and customer health scoring. Complements this skill when churn is flagged as CRITICAL.

How it compares

Choose SaaS Metrics Coach over generic business advice skills when you already have monthly MRR and churn numbers and need stage-specific benchmark scoring rather than strategy brainstorming.
