## Purpose

Quick reference for any SaaS finance metric without deep teaching. Use this when you need a fast formula lookup, benchmark check, or decision framework reminder. For detailed explanations, calculations, and examples, see the related deep-dive skills.

This is not a teaching tool—it's a cheat sheet optimized for speed. Scan, find, apply.

## Input

**Works best with:** The metric you need — name it and get the formula, benchmark, and decision context.
**Also useful:** Your numbers, if you want the formula applied on the spot.

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.** Ask for the metric family you're working in (revenue, retention, efficiency, capital) and scan from there.

**Example invocation:** `Quick ref: burn multiple — formula, benchmark, and whether 1.7 is bad for Series B.`

## Key Concepts

### Metric Categories

Metrics are organized into four families:

1. **Revenue & Growth** — Top-line money (revenue, ARPU, ARPA, MRR/ARR, churn, NRR, expansion)
2. **Unit Economics** — Customer-level profitability (CAC, LTV, payback, margins)
3. **Capital Efficiency** — Cash management (burn rate, runway, OpEx, net income)
4. **Efficiency Ratios** — Growth vs. profitability balance (Rule of 40, magic number)
