Unit economics every operator should understand
Revenue can grow while a business becomes less healthy. Unit economics helps reveal whether growth creates or destroys value.
Start with the economic unit
Define the unit that best represents how the business earns money: a customer, account, order, subscription, project or location. Then understand the revenue, direct cost, acquisition cost, servicing cost and expected duration attached to that unit.
