Northwind is fundamentally healthy and growing, ARR is up 42%, but margin and cash efficiency are the story this month. Gross Margin (68% vs 75% target) and CAC Payback (19.2mo vs 12) are the two highest-criticality signals, not the biggest misses, but the ones that propagate: together they drag EBITDA, Rule of 40, Burn Multiple and Cash Runway. At the current collections pace, runway tightens from 14 to ~11 months next quarter. traceable ↩

Product-mix shift into lower-margin SKUs is the root cause.

3
CAC payback is dragging unit economics
Paid-channel efficiency down; watch LTV:CAC and Burn.
