Unit Economics: LTV, CAC, and AI-Specific Benchmarks

Quick Summary

Unit economics tests whether revenue from a customer exceeds acquisition and delivery costs over time. AI adds variable compute and evaluation costs, but there is no universal benchmark that fits every product.

What you will learn
  • Define LTV, CAC, gross margin, and payback
  • Include AI-specific variable costs
  • Use cohort evidence and scenarios instead of universal benchmarks
