Customers and repeat revenue
Subscriptions, memberships and repeat purchases need a view of acquisition, retention, pricing and the cost of serving the customer over time.

Businesses in the same sector can have different economics. I identify the operating pattern first, then connect it to the cost structure, investment and cash cycle.
Subscriptions, memberships and repeat purchases need a view of acquisition, retention, pricing and the cost of serving the customer over time.
Sales volumes, channel fees, product costs, returns and replenishment connect commercial activity to contribution and working capital.
Rooms, seats, appointments, machines and teaching hours create capacity limits. Staffing and investment determine how that capacity can grow.
Contract value, delivery effort, progress payments and collection timing shape the economics of construction and many professional services.
Input purchases, production lead times, yields and sale dates determine how long cash is committed before output can generate receipts.
Property and infrastructure plans connect capital expenditure, commissioning or lease-up, operating receipts and the agreed financing structure.
A BUSINESS CAN CROSS CATEGORIES
An online retailer with physical stores, a software-enabled service or a mixed-use property may need more than one set of drivers. I shape the scope around the business itself.
