Technical system architecture diagram: Web Analytics & Digital Unit Economics: The Metrics that Matter

1. The Core Formulas of Digital Economics

•
CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost): Total Sales & Marketing Spend divided by Number of New Customers Acquired.
•
LTV (Customer Lifetime Value): Average Order Value × Purchase Frequency × Customer Retention Span.
•
The Rule of 3x: If your LTV is $300 and your CAC is $100, your business possesses strong unit economics and can scale profitably. If your CAC is $250, advertising will quickly drain your working capital.
