Overview
Unit Economics solution is designed to quantify the total cost associated with delivering products or services to customers.
Steps to create Unit Economics
-
Cost Gathering / Allocation
-
Create a cost allocation that includes direct and indirect/shared components (segments) of the costs to arrive to a Total Cost of the allocation
-
-
Cost Splitting
-
Identify the cost splitting i.e. identify the cost that you wanted to split segments in unit Cost ( per execution )
-
-
Unit Economics
-
Calculate the cost that can be served for the segment ( per dimension, e.g. Customer )
-
Below are examples of cost gathering, cost splitting, and calculating Unit Economics
Example 1 - No Dimension
-
Identify the unit metrics that you want to apply, as shown below
|
Month |
# of Calls |
|---|---|
|
2025-01-01 |
400 |
|
2025-02-01 |
200 |
-
Cost Allocation - Total Cost of cost allocation in a Month, e.g. consisting: direct, shared, etc.
|
Month |
Total Cost |
|---|---|
|
2025-01-01 |
1000 |
|
2025-02-01 |
600 |
-
Cost Splitting - Unit Cost of running on allocation per Execution:
|
Month |
Unit Cost |
|---|---|
|
2025-01-01 |
1000 / 400 = 2.5 |
|
2025-02-01 |
600 / 200 = 3 |
