Cost of Manual Work — SaaS / B2B Tech
See what repetitive manual work is costing SaaS / B2B Tech teams each year — where cAC keeps creeping up while net retention is flat — the Rule of 40 number nobody wants to share with the board.
What this means for SaaS / B2B Tech
- CAC keeps creeping up while net retention is flat — the Rule of 40 number nobody wants to share with the board.
- Product, sales, and CS each define an 'active customer' differently; the boardroom NRR number is reconciled by hand.
- Every PM is shipping an 'AI feature' but nobody can tell you which one moved retention.
Where it pays to act
- AI features inside the product where retention is the actual KPI — not just a marketing checkbox.
- Sales and CS copilots that summarize accounts, draft follow-ups, and surface next-best-action from the CRM.
