The CAC-LTV Squeeze

@HelloFresh your CAC is climbing. LTV isn't keeping pace. The CAC-LTV squeeze is real and it's squeezing your margins.

I've fixed this economics. When I lifted ROAS by 67% while cutting CAC from $150 to $50. The secret wasn't better ads. It was understanding the math. CAC sets the floor. LTV sets the ceiling. If LTV doesn't rise with CAC, your economics collapse.

Your acquisition team optimizes new customer cost. Your retention team maximizes lifetime. They live in different worlds with different metrics. The CFO sees the combined P&L bleeding. The CEO sees growth. The board asks when profits follow.

The ROAS-CAC Bridge Framework:

1. Measure payback period by channel. Not aggregate.
2. Build first-order margin floors. CAC can't exceed this.
3. Predictive LTV modeling. Know lifetime before acquisition.
4. Channel-specific metrics. What works for retention fails acquisition.
5. Test by profitability. Not just volume.

We're bridging the gap together. Not optimizing silos. Economics that scaled to £790M IPO. You and I fixing the math.

Your payback period by channel? Do you even know?
