Work out whether one customer or one transaction makes money, before scaling anything. Use when deciding to grow, raise prices, or cut costs, and when growth is not producing profit.
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
# Unit economics Growth multiplies whatever the unit already is. A business with negative unit economics gets worse as it grows, which is why this calculation comes before every growth decision rather than after the first bad quarter. ## Method 1. **Define the unit precisely.** One customer, one order, one seat, one delivery. Different units give different answers and only one matches the decision you are making. 2. **Include every variable cost.** Payment fees, support, hosting, fulfilment, and the portion of headcount that scales with volume. Excluding support is the most common way unit economics look good and are not. 3. **Compute contribution margin first.** Revenue per unit minus variable cost per unit. If this is negative, no volume fixes it and nothing else matters. 4. **Compare lifetime value to acquisition cost honestly.** Lifetime value uses contribution margin rather than revenue, and includes real retention rather than an assumed one (see saas-metrics). 5. **Measure payback period, not just the ratio.** How long until an acquired customer repays their acquisition cost decides whether you …

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.
