Economics calculates the true cost of delivering your offer — staff time, products, technology, and fixed overhead — then shows your profit margin, customer acquisition cost, and whether your advertising is paying for itself. The metrics update in real time as you adjust your inputs, so you can model different pricing and cost scenarios instantly.
Create an offer in Offers > Care Plans first if you want to link your economics model to a specific care plan.

How to create an economics model

1

Navigate to Economics

Go to Measure > Economics from the sidebar. You’ll see a list of existing economics models, or an empty state prompting you to create your first one.
Creating, editing, and deleting economics models requires the appropriate role-based permissions. If a button appears disabled, your current role may not have the necessary access.
2

Click Create Economics

Click the Create Economics button at the top of the page. This opens a two-column view: the input form on the left and a live Offer Economics panel on the right that updates as you type.
3

Fill in Basic Information

Start with the core details about your care plan:
4

Add cost items

Add the individual cost items that go into delivering your care plan. There are four sections, each with an Add button to add as many items as needed:Staff Costs — team members involved in delivering the service. Click Add Staff to add an entry:Product Costs — physical products and supplies per patient. Click Add Product to add an entry:Technology Costs — software, equipment, and services with monthly fees. Click Add Tech to add an entry:Fixed Expenses (OpEx) — monthly overhead costs like rent, utilities, and insurance. Click Add Expense to add an entry:

Review the Offer Economics panel

As you fill in the form, the right-side Offer Economics panel updates in real time showing:Below these, a Cost Breakdown lists each cost category individually (Staff Cost, Product Cost, Technology Cost, Fixed Expenses, Cost Per Acquisition, Base COGS, Total Cost), and a Gross Profit percentage at the bottom shows your overall margin.The Gross Margin card uses a 7-step color scale based on your margin percentage:

  • Add First Staff Member — staff involved in delivering the service
  • Add First Product — physical products and supplies per patient
  • Add First Technology — software, equipment, and services with monthly fees

  • Click Reset Changes to undo all unsaved edits and revert to the last saved state

Financial Metrics panel (edit page)

The edit page’s right-side panel shows four key metrics that update in real time: Below the key metrics, a Cost Breakdown shows the individual totals for Staff Costs, Product Costs, Technology Costs, and Fixed Expenses. At the bottom, the Economics Summary displays three numbers side by side: Offer Price, Total Costs, and Net Profit (highlighted green if positive, red if negative).

Marketing funnel prediction

When you enter a Monthly Ad Spend greater than zero on the edit page, a Marketing Funnel section appears below the form showing predicted volume and cost per unit at each stage: Each stage card shows the predicted volume and cost per unit (e.g., “12.50 per lead”). A summary row at the bottom shows Total Spend, Expected Starts, and Cost Per Start.

Free advertising

When your cost per consult drops to or below your consult fee, a “Free Advertising Achieved!” banner appears in both the Financial Metrics panel and the Marketing Funnel section. This means your consultation revenue covers your entire ad spend — you’re acquiring patients at net zero cost.
Include all costs — staff, products, technology, and overhead — to get an accurate profit margin. Missing even one category will make your model look more profitable than it actually is.
A healthy profit margin is typically 20% or higher. The Profit Margin card turns green when you hit this threshold, giving you a quick visual signal.
