Frame each section around a narrative. - **Honest about misses** — Credibility comes from acknowledging what didn't work. - **Forward-looking > backward-looking** — Investors care more about where you're going. - **Consistent formatting** — Same metrics, same definitions, year over year. - **One page per section** — Force prioritization. If it doesn't fit one page, it's not tight enough. ## Useful Formulas ``` Gross Margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue EBITDA Margin = EBITDA / Revenue Rule of 40 = Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin % Burn Multiple = Net Burn / Net New ARR Magic Number = Net New ARR / Prior Quarter S&M Spend CAC Payback = CAC / (ARPA × Gross Margin) LTV = ARPA × Gross Margin / Monthly Churn Rate ``` --- Built by [AfrexAI](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/context-packs/) — AI context packs that make your agents actually useful. **Get the full toolkit:** - [AI Revenue Calculator](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/ai-revenue-calculator/) — Find where you're losing money - [Agent Setup Wizard](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/agent-setup/) — Deploy your first AI agent in 15 minutes - [Context Packs Store](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/context-packs/) — Industry-specific agent intelligence ($47/pack)
