The problem with your current metrics:

You don't need better dashboards. You need diagnosis.

Who This Is For

You ran the SQL queries from the article (or pulled the data from your analytics tool).

Now you have numbers. But you don't know if they're good or bad.

You want a simple answer: where is my SaaS leaking, and what should I fix first?

This scorecard gives you that answer in 30 seconds.

This Is Free. Here's Why.

I'm Judie. I help seed-stage founders diagnose and fix retention problems.

Most founders look at averages and feel okay. Then they're surprised when growth stalls. The problem was always there. The metrics just hid it.

This scorecard forces you to see the truth. Five numbers. Color-coded diagnosis. No hiding.

If the scorecard shows red and you want help fixing it, we can talk. But first, get the diagnosis.

FAQ

Stop guessing. Start diagnosing.

You'll get it in 2 minutes. Input your numbers. See the truth.

P.S. Your "healthy" metrics might be hiding a leaky bucket. This scorecard will tell you.
