The Problem This Solves
You're charging the same fee schedule across your whole book, but you can't see which client segments actually generate the most lifetime value versus what they pay you today. Some of your most profitable cohorts may be underpriced while you over-serve relationships that quietly drain margin. Which clients are truly worth fighting to retain?
✦ You'll know which client segments produce disproportionate lifetime value relative to their current fees, so you can direct retention effort and fee conversations where they actually move revenue.
Tool Details
How It Works
Client lifetime value is calculated using a net present value model that discounts future revenue streams by client retention probability and time value of money. For each client segment, CLV = (Annual Revenue per Client × Gross Margin) ÷ (Discount Rate + Churn Rate). The model uses a 10% annual discount rate, adjustable for your risk profile. Retention modeling applies a survival curve — the probability a client remains active in year N is (Retention Rate)^N. The acquisition budget recommendation derives from the rule that maximum sustainable customer acquisition cost equals CLV × target payback period (default 3 years). Tier segmentation identifies which client cohorts generate disproportionate lifetime value versus their current fee level.
