Business Health Diagnostic

Most SaaS founders track revenue growth but miss the warning signs hidden in retention, unit economics, or burn rate. This diagnostic walks you through 15-20 minutes of structured questions across all four dimensions, then delivers a prioritized health scorecard with stage-specific benchmarks. It flags critical issues like sub-1.5 LTV:CAC or runway under six months, separates those from medium-priority items, and adapts recommendations based on whether you're pre-$10M ARR or scaling past $50M. Best used before board meetings, quarterly reviews, or when you know something's off but can't pinpoint what. The questions are adaptive, so you won't waste time on metrics you don't have.

Purpose

Diagnose overall SaaS business health by analyzing growth, retention, unit economics, and capital efficiency metrics together. Use this to identify problems early, prioritize actions by urgency, and deliver a comprehensive health scorecard for board meetings, quarterly reviews, or fundraising preparation.

This is not a single-metric check—it's a holistic diagnostic that connects revenue, retention, economics, and efficiency to reveal systemic issues and opportunities.

Input

Works best with: Whatever business metrics you have access to — growth rate, NRR/GRR, CAC payback, burn multiple, runway. Partial data is fine; the diagnostic flags what's missing. Also useful: The occasion (board meeting, quarterly review, fundraise prep) and what you already suspect is wrong.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.

Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The diagnostic opens by asking your company stage and which metric families you can pull.
