Example result only, not a forecast or promise.

What to do with this result
Use qualified non-brand visits and cohort economics; model the time needed to reach traffic separately.
Know what is inside the model.
Planning model, not personalized financial advice. Your inputs remain in your browser.
Calculation method
Monthly net = qualified visits × lead conversion × win rate × contribution per win − maintenance. Simple payback = upfront cost / monthly net.
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.
