## What it does

This skill covers MRR, ARR, ARPU, ARPA, ACV, churn, GRR, NRR, expansion revenue, and the SaaS Quick Ratio. It gives the relevant formulas, helps read changes over time, and connects the numbers to retention, expansion, and the quality of growth.

You can provide a business question, a set of metrics, or cohort figures. Partial data is usable, and an empty invocation can serve as a reference for choosing metrics and reading them. The skill also helps frame the results for stakeholders.

This is an analysis framework rather than a business intelligence tool, so its conclusions depend on the figures and context supplied to it.
