Models LTV, CAC by channel, LTV:CAC ratios, and payback period for an indie developer. Uses market_insights to calibrate channel CPMs and competitive intensity. Includes indie budget tier definitions and viability thresholds.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- version: 0.4.0 | outputs: memory/ideas/<slug>/cac.json -->

# Skill: cac-modeler

## Purpose

Determine whether this indie developer can realistically acquire users profitably given their budget and the competitive landscape. Many ideas fail not because of bad products but because CAC exceeds LTV at indie scale. This skill builds a complete unit economics picture: LTV from retention and pricing, CAC from channel benchmarks calibrated by market_insights signals, and a payback timeline that tells the founder how long they need to fund growth before the business sustains itself.

## Input

- Idea slug
- `memory/ideas/<slug>/idea.md` (`business_model`)
- `memory/user_profile.md` (budget constraint, ICP tier)
- `memory/ideas/<slug>/pricing.json` (target price or primary tier → revenue per user; trial-to-paid or freemium conversion)
- `memory/ideas/<slug>/retention.json` (D30 retention, churn risk → estimated lifespan)
- `memory/ideas/<slug>/distribution.json` (viable channels, k-factor, ASO opportunity, creator fit)
- `memory/ideas/<slug>/competitors.json` (competitor pricing and scale signals — optional)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add latifox/find-me-saas/cac-modeler@sha256:c38264347a4705b9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.e7c44bd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
