Growth can make you poorer.
A real month: sales +25%, profit -31%.
Revenue and ROAS reward activity. They do not tell you what the sale left behind.
The fix is one North Star: contribution profit.
= net sales - COGS - fulfillment - fees - returns - ad spend

Revenue is not what your store is worth.
Adjusted profit x multiple = value.
The formula is simple. The inputs are where founders get it wrong:
→ outdated COGS
→ ad spend split across platforms
→ refunds left out
→ best-sellers that are not profitable

Every platform claimed the sale.
None of them made you money.
3 platforms claimed 1,100 new customers. Shopify recorded 800.
True blended CAC: $30,000 ÷ 800 = $37.50
Attribution shows credit. Blended CAC shows profit.

Every platform wants the credit.
Your business needs the profit.
Attribution is directional. Blended CAC, live P&L, COGS, fees, refunds and ad spend tell you whether growth is actually working.
Stop chasing platform-reported wins.
Measure what the store actually keeps.

AU: $40,000 revenue → 25.8% margin
The biggest market isn't always the one keeping money.
