Cash runway - how many months of cash you have based on your burn rate. Customer acquisition cost - the total cost of sales and marketing to sign up each customer. Churn rate - the percentage of users who drop out each month. Customer lifetime value - the total amount of revenue for the average customer. Lead velocity rate - the growth of qualified leads in the sales pipeline. Signup rate - the number of new customers signing up either daily or monthly.
