Read the cohort LTV

Diana explains the cohort LTV matrix (net cash at D0/D30/D90/D180), the maturity guard, the bounded projection and how it reconciles with Cash.

Goal

Understand the cohort LTV matrix: how much net cash each customer cohort has returned over time, and where it reconciles with your other numbers.

Where to find it

  1. Go to /app/crm
  2. Open the LTV / Cohorts tab

How to read the matrix

  • Each row is a cohort: the month of the customer's first won purchase.
  • The D0 / D30 / D90 / D180 columns are the cumulative net cash per customer at that age, counted from each customer's own acquisition (not the calendar month).
  • Net means refunds are excluded.
  • The Projected (D360) column is a bounded (saturating) projection: it never over-projects. It only shows when the cohort has enough points, otherwise "-".
  • A "-" cell means the cohort is too recent for that checkpoint (maturity guard): a customer only counts at D180 once 180 days have passed since acquisition.

Reconciliation with Cash

At maturity, a cohort's total equals your sales Cash collected (the same number as "Cash to date" on the Sales tab). The three numbers not to confuse:

  • Booked ROAS: frozen at signature (media-buying optimization).
  • Cash: real collected cash, accumulates with renewals.
  • LTV: this matrix, the per-cohort cash that matures over time.

Common questions

  • Empty late checkpoints on a recent cohort: expected, that is the maturity guard.
  • Incomplete renewal history: the system recovers payment history automatically; if a gap persists after a few hours, contact support.

Next step

Cross-reference cohort LTV with your campaigns in ADS to see which bring the highest-value customers. Missing a feature? Suggest it in Ideas and Roadmap from /app/settings.
