- Strategic Review — Key wins, market position, competitive landscape, risks addressed
- Forward Guidance — Next-year targets, strategic priorities, investment thesis, risk outlook

Presentation Tips
- Lead with the story, support with numbers — Don't dump data. Frame each section around a narrative.
- Honest about misses — Credibility comes from acknowledging what didn't work.
- Forward-looking > backward-looking — Investors care more about where you're going.
- Consistent formatting — Same metrics, same definitions, year over year.
- One page per section — Force prioritization. If it doesn't fit one page, it's not tight enough.
Useful Formulas
Gross Margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA / Revenue
Rule of 40 = Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %
Burn Multiple = Net Burn / Net New ARR
Magic Number = Net New ARR / Prior Quarter S&M Spend
CAC Payback = CAC / (ARPA × Gross Margin)
LTV = ARPA × Gross Margin / Monthly Churn Rate
