Calculation method

Sales contribution = bookings × first-year revenue realization × margin − bookings × commission rate − fixed sales cost.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
  • Use matched cohorts and fully loaded costs. Attribution is an assumption, not evidence of incremental lift.
