SaaS Metrics Coach is a Claude skill that calculates SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, churn), runs cohort retention analysis, and computes unit economics (LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC, payback) from subscription data.

About

SaaS Metrics Coach is a toolkit of Python scripts for subscription revenue analysis. It calculates MRR, ARR, growth rate and churn from a subscription CSV, runs cohort retention analysis on user activity data, and computes unit economics like LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC ratio and CAC payback. Founders, finance teams and growth operators use it for monthly health checks, investor-deck prep, and churn investigation. It compares outputs against benchmark ranges to flag concerning metrics.

  • Calculates MRR, ARR, growth rate and churn from subscription CSV data
  • Runs cohort retention analysis and computes LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC ratio and payback period
  • Ships benchmark tables so results are flagged against healthy SaaS ranges

Revenue metrics, retention matrices and a unit-economics dashboard with warning flags against SaaS benchmarks.

  • Revenue metrics and trends
  • Cohort retention matrix and curves
  • Unit-economics dashboard

By the numbers

  • 3 analysis scripts (mrr_calculator, cohort_analyzer, unit_economics)
  • 3 workflows (monthly health check, investor deck, churn investigation)

SaaS Metrics Coach Skill

Overview

Production-ready SaaS metrics toolkit for calculating MRR/ARR, analyzing cohort retention, and evaluating unit economics. Designed for SaaS founders, finance teams, and growth operators who need precise subscription revenue analysis without spreadsheet gymnastics.

Quick Start

# Calculate MRR, ARR, growth rate, and churn from subscription data
python scripts/mrr_calculator.py subscriptions.csv

# Run cohort retention analysis
python scripts/cohort_analyzer.py users.csv --cohort-period monthly

# Calculate LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC ratio, and payback period
python scripts/unit_economics.py metrics.json

Tools Overview

ToolPurposeInputOutput
mrr_calculator.pyMRR, ARR, growth rate, churnCSV with subscription dataRevenue metrics + trends
cohort_analyzer.pyCohort retention analysisCSV with user signup/activity dataRetention matrix + curves
unit_economics.pyLTV, CAC, LTV:CAC, paybackJSON with acquisition/revenue dataUnit economics dashboard

Workflows

Workflow 1: Monthly SaaS Health Check

1. Export subscription data as CSV (columns: customer_id, plan, mrr, start_date, end_date) 2. Run mrr_calculator.py to get current MRR, ARR, net new MRR, churn rate 3. Run cohort_analyzer.py on user activity data to identify retention trends 4. Run unit_economics.py to validate LTV:CAC ratio stays above 3:1 5. Review output for warning flags (churn > 5%, LTV:CAC < 3, payback > 18 months)

Workflow 2: Investor Deck Preparation

1. Run mrr_calculator.py --format json to get growth metrics for charts 2. Run cohort_analyzer.py --format json for retention curves 3. Run unit_economics.py --format json for unit economics summary 4. Use JSON output to populate investor deck data points

Workflow 3: Churn Investigation

1. Run mrr_calculator.py with --breakdown to see churn by plan tier 2. Run cohort_analyzer.py to identify which cohorts churn fastest 3. Cross-reference cohort drop-off periods with product changes 4. Identify if churn is concentrated in specific segments or time windows

Reference Documentation

Key SaaS Metrics Definitions

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue): Sum of all active subscription revenue normalized to monthly
  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue): MRR x 12
  • Net New MRR: New MRR + Expansion MRR - Churned MRR - Contraction MRR
  • Gross Churn Rate: Lost MRR / Beginning MRR for the period
  • Net Revenue Retention (NRR): (Beginning MRR + Expansion - Churn - Contraction) / Beginning MRR
  • LTV (Lifetime Value): ARPU / Monthly Churn Rate (simplified) or ARPU x Gross Margin / Churn
  • CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost): Total Sales & Marketing Spend / New Customers Acquired
  • LTV:CAC Ratio: Target 3:1 or higher for healthy SaaS
  • CAC Payback Period: CAC / (ARPU x Gross Margin) in months
