SaaS Metrics Dashboard

Generates a complete SaaS metrics analysis from your data, benchmarking 15 key B2B SaaS KPIs for 2026 and providing red/yellow/green flags plus action items.

Generate a complete SaaS metrics analysis from your data. Covers the 15 metrics that actually matter for B2B SaaS in 2026 — not vanity numbers.

What It Does

When triggered, this skill:

1. Asks for your current numbers (MRR, churn, CAC, etc.)
2. Calculates derived metrics (LTV:CAC, Magic Number, Rule of 40, Burn Multiple)
3. Benchmarks against 2026 SaaS medians by stage (Pre-Seed → Series C+)
4. Flags red/yellow/green across every metric
5. Outputs a board-ready metrics summary with action items

Core Metrics Framework

Revenue Metrics

Metric	Formula	2026 Benchmark (Series A)
MRR	Sum of monthly recurring revenue	$80K-$250K
ARR	MRR × 12	$1M-$3M
Net Revenue Retention (NRR)	(Starting MRR + Expansion - Contraction - Churn) / Starting MRR	>110%
Gross Revenue Retention (GRR)	(Starting MRR - Contraction - Churn) / Starting MRR	>85%
Revenue per Employee	ARR / Headcount	$150K-$250K

Growth Metrics

Metric	Formula	Healthy Range
MoM Growth	(This Month MRR - Last Month MRR) / Last Month MRR	10-20% pre-Series A
Quick Ratio	(New MRR + Expansion MRR) / (Contraction MRR + Churned MRR)	>4.0
Magic Number	Net New ARR (QoQ) / Prior Quarter S&M Spend	>0.75

Unit Economics

Metric	Formula	Target
CAC	Total S&M Spend / New Customers Acquired	Varies by ACV
LTV	ARPU × Gross Margin % / Monthly Churn Rate	>3× CAC
LTV:CAC Ratio	LTV / CAC	3:1 to 5:1
CAC Payback	CAC / (ARPU × Gross Margin %)	<18 months
Gross Margin	(Revenue - COGS) / Revenue	>70%

Efficiency Metrics

Metric	Formula	Target
Rule of 40	Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %	>40
Burn Multiple	Net Burn / Net New ARR	<2.0

Benchmarks by Stage (2026)

Stage	ARR	NRR	LTV:CAC	Burn Multiple	Rule of 40
Pre-Seed	<$100K	N/A	N/A	<5.0	N/A
Seed	$100K-$1M	>100%	>2:1	<3.0	>20
Series A	$1M-$5M	>110%	>3:1	<2.0	>30
Series B	$5M-$20M	>115%	>3.5:1	<1.5	>35
Series C+	>$20M	>120%	>4:1	<1.0	>40

Red Flag Detection

The skill automatically flags:

• NRR below 100% — your bucket is leaking. Fix churn before spending on acquisition.
• LTV:CAC below 1:1 — you're paying more to acquire customers than they're worth. Stop spending.
• CAC Payback over 24 months — capital efficiency problem. Tighten sales cycle or raise ACV.
• Burn Multiple over 3.0 — burning cash faster than growing. Cut or pivot.
• Quick Ratio below 1.0 — losing more revenue than gaining. Emergency.
• Gross Margin below 60% — not a SaaS business, it's a services business with software.

How to Use

Tell the agent:

Run the SaaS metrics analysis. Here are my numbers:
- MRR: $45,000
- Monthly churn: 3.2%
- New customers this month: 12
- S&M spend this month: $28,000
- ARPU: $380/mo
- Gross margin: 74%
- Headcount: 8
- Monthly burn: $62,000

The agent will calculate all derived metrics, benchmark them, and give you a prioritized action list.

Industry Adjustments

Different verticals have different healthy ranges:

• Vertical SaaS (healthcare, legal, construction): Higher gross margins (80%+), lower churn (<2%), higher ACV
• Horizontal SaaS (productivity, analytics): Lower margins, higher volume, faster sales cycles
• Usage-based (API, infrastructure): Track consumption metrics alongside traditional SaaS metrics
• PLG (product-led growth): Add activation rate, time-to-value, viral coefficient
