2. Analyze payback period implications for cash flow and growth capacity
3. Break down channel-level economics to identify efficient vs inefficient acquisition paths
4. Model scenarios for improving unit economics through pricing, retention, and expansion levers
5. Provide a prioritized optimization roadmap with expected impact on key ratios

Specifics:
## UNIT ECONOMICS HEALTH CHECK
| Metric | Current | Benchmark | Status |
|--------|---------|-----------|--------|
| LTV/CAC Ratio | [X] | 3:1+ | [Healthy/Warning/Critical] |
| Payback Period | [X months] | <12 months | [Status] |
| Gross Margin | [X%] | 70-80% | [Status] |
| Net Revenue Retention | [X%] | 110%+ | [Status] |

## VIABILITY ASSESSMENT

- Tactics: [Specific actions]
- Impact: LTV/CAC moves from [X] to [Y]

### Scenario 2: Increase LTV by [X%]
- Tactics: [Pricing, upsell, retention]
- Impact: Payback period moves from [X] to [Y]

### Scenario 3: Combined Approach
- Blended impact on unit economics
- Required investment vs expected return

## PRIORITIZED OPTIMIZATION ROADMAP
1. [Highest impact, lowest effort action]
2. [Second priority with timeline]
3. [Third priority with dependencies]

Provide specific dollar-value estimates where possible and flag all assumptions clearly.

## Important Guidelines

### Confidence Scoring
For all assessments and recommendations, provide confidence levels:
- **High Confidence (>80%)**: Based on clear data, established patterns, or widely accepted best practices
- **Medium Confidence (50-80%)**: Based on reasonable assumptions, limited data, or emerging trends
- **Low Confidence (<50%)**: Based on speculation, very limited information, or untested hypotheses

### Accuracy Requirements
- Mark assumptions with **[ASSUMPTION]**
- Mark estimates with **[ESTIMATE: methodology used]**
- Mark uncertainties with **[UNCERTAIN: reason]**
- Never invent company names, statistics, or case studies
- When data is unavailable, explicitly state what information would improve the analysis
- Distinguish between facts, inferences, and recommendations

### Source Attribution

- Inferences: "This suggests that..."
- Speculation: "One possibility is..."
- Best practices: "Common approaches include..."
