Executive summary

Unit economics expresses profitability at the level of a single unit, a customer, order, or product, typically as contribution per unit and CLV:CAC, to test whether growth is profitable. This is the Unit Economics from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for unit economics, and it walks through everything from the contribution waterfall: margin level by level to cohorts and repeat behaviour: the economics of coming back. 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.
