Executive summary

CLV estimates the total profit a customer generates over the relationship, discounting future cash flows. This is the Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for customer lifetime value, and it walks through everything from the formula family: from simple multiplier to retention-adjusted CLV to clv:cac and payback period: the unit-economics test. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
