Why churn is the highest-leverage metric

LTV = ARPU ÷ Churn — halving churn doubles LTV.

8% monthly churn = ~96% annual loss. At 4%, it's ~48%.

That compounds every month — by M12 you have 178 more paying customers.

What this means for you

High churn is quietly capping your growth.

At 8% monthly churn you're refilling a leaky bucket — much of your acquisition spend just replaces lost customers. Retention is your highest-leverage fix.

1

Find where customers drop off (onboarding, month 1, renewal)

2

Fix the top churn driver before spending more on acquisition

3

Instrument retention cohorts so you can see progress
