Business Health Diagnostic

## 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.

**Example invocation:** `Run a health check: $8M ARR, 60% YoY growth, NRR 96%, CAC payback 21 months, 14 months runway — board meeting in 3 weeks.`

## Key Concepts

1. **Growth & Retention** — Are you growing and keeping customers?
