Unit Economics break down profitability at the unit level: revenue per customer vs. cost per customer. Key metrics are LTV, CAC, the LTV/CAC ratio (ideally > 3), and Payback Period. If your LTV is $200 and your CAC is $50, the ratio is 4x, which is excellent. Strong Unit Economics prove your model is scalable. Without them, growing simply means accelerating losses.
