Which CAC Should You Use — Fully-Loaded, Blended, or Paid?
There are three ways to measure customer acquisition cost — paid, blended, and fully-loaded. Most teams pick one per decision. MAVAN’s operators steer by fully-loaded CAC, paired with gross-margin lifetime value, because it counts every cost. Paid and blended stay useful for channel calls and external reporting, but never as the number that drives the business.
