The Physics of Growth

The Law of Revenue Compounding

Many DTC founders think growth is linear. It's not. Growth is multiplicative. When you improve your Customers, Frequency, and AOV by just 30% each, you don't grow by 90%—you grow by 120%.

Variable 1: Number of Customers

Acquisition is your foundation. We analyze Meta, Google, and TikTok performance through a strict attribution lens.

Variable 2: Purchase Frequency

Retention is your profit engine. Moving the needle from 1.2 to 1.5 purchases per year changes your enterprise value forever.

Variable 3: Average Order Value

The quickest lever. Bundle, upsell, and tiered pricing strategies that increase revenue without increasing ad spend.

Data Integrity

Attribution: The Source of Truth

You cannot scale what you cannot measure. Most DTC brands fail because they trust platform-reported ROAS. We implement a "Triangulated Truth" model.

GA4 + Server-Side

By-pass ad blockers and iOS limitations with server-side tagging. Get clean, first-party data directly into BigQuery.

Meta CAPI

Feeding the Meta algorithm with accurate conversion signals is more important than ever. CAPI ensures your pixel stays "warm."

Post-Purchase PPS

Ask the customer directly: "How did you hear about us?" The delta between platform reporting and customer voice is where profit hides.

The Creative Engine

The High-Entropy Creative System

Creative is the new targeting. We don't "test" creative; we build scientific Briefs based on Format, Angle, and Intent.

Avoid the Same-ness Trap: Stop making ads that look like ads. High-entropy creative stands out in the scroll.

Angle over Aesthetics: A lo-fi video with a killer hook beats a $20k studio shoot every single time.

Retention: The Herd & The Strays

Stop treating your database like a monolith. Use the Recency Map to identify exactly when a customer is about to drift away.
