UnitEconomics
Cost per unit of business value (per booking, per active user) — see BusinessValue/UnitEconomics, same concept from the cost-control angle.
Why we need this / what value this brings
If you don't know the cost of one transaction, you can't know whether growth is good news or a growing loss.
When to use this
From the first paying transaction, not after volume makes it hard to unwind.
How to use or implement this
Track infra + third-party (payment, AI) cost per booking against revenue per booking on an ongoing basis.
Research questions
- Track this from day one so a pricing/monetization decision (see Monetization-Plan.md) is grounded in real cost data.
- LLM cost multiplies fast at fleet scale: 100+ commands × 1000s of devices × (map chunks + a reduce pass) per LLM call — what's the actual per-upgrade AI-summarization cost, and does it justify summarizing every diff vs. only flagging anomalies for AI review?
