Month-one ROAS lands near 2.5x because many patients prepay for 3-6 month supplies on intake. The return still compounds over the 9.1-month average retention, which is why LTV ROAS lands at 11.7x. Klaviyo flows run on top at near-zero incremental spend.

Where to move budget next

Klaviyo is owned retention — it returns 21x at $104 per patient with almost no media spend. Expand abandoned-intake and refill-reminder flows first.

TikTok is the best paid channel at 17.9x LTV ROAS and $122 CAC — shift incremental paid budget here.

Facebook carries 50% of ad spend and 37.5% of new patients — hold budget and refresh creative weekly.
