- Contribution Margin
Common for ecommerce/SaaS unit economics
Growth & Revenue

- Total Revenue / Revenue Growth %
- ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) — SaaS
- Revenue per Employee
- Average Order Value / Deal Size
- Market Share Growth
Operational Excellence
Drive efficiency:
- OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) — Manufacturing
- Inventory Turns — Distribution
- Project Delivery Time — Construction
- Defect Rate / Quality Score
- On-Time Delivery %
Customer & Market
Balance short-term profit with long-term value:
- Net Promoter Score (NPS)
- Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)
- Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
