First-order ROAS hides retention. Acquire the subscribers who stick.
LTV-weighted attribution. Per-channel, per-cohort retention curves. Churn signals caught before they show up in the monthly review.
Felix models per-cohort decay curves so acquisition can weight the subscribers who stick, not the ones who signed up. Architecture target; exact curves depend on category and replenishment cycle.
Four reasons retention stays a black box.
Subscription economics depend on month four through twelve, but ad platforms only see month one. The gap is where retention quietly destroys LTV projections.
High CAC, low first-order value
Acquisition cost runs hot against month-one revenue. Without LTV-weighted ROAS, the team kills the campaigns acquiring the best long-term subscribers.
Churn eats LTV projections
Linear LTV models miss the cliffs at month three and month six. Real cohort decay is nonlinear and category-specific.
Trial vs loyal looks identical at acquisition
Promo-driven and organic subscribers are indistinguishable in week one. By the time the difference shows up, the team has already optimized for the wrong audience.
Channel-level LTV is invisible
Overall LTV is known. Per-channel LTV is not. Meta subscribers might retain twice as well as TikTok, but allocation treats every channel the same.
Predict LTV. Catch churn early. Acquire what stays.
Felix models per-channel decay curves. Maya holds the cohort memory. Parker reconciles LTV-weighted ROAS. Dana unifies the subscription data layer.
Felix
Forecasting
Models per-channel, per-cohort decay curves. Predicts LTV inside the architecture target. Architecture target: LTV predictions tighten as the system reads two replenishment cycles.
Per-channel LTV predictions, modeled.
Maya
Memory & Context
Holds the cohort memory across acquisition channels. Recalls which campaign signatures drove which retention curves last quarter. Architecture target: institutional memory of cohort behavior across the brand's history.
Cohort memory that compounds.
Parker
Attribution
Reconciles acquisition spend against subscription LTV, not first-order revenue. Surfaces the campaigns acquiring high-retention subscribers. Architecture target: LTV-weighted ROAS by channel and campaign.
LTV-weighted ROAS, debiased.
Dana
Unified Data
Unifies subscription, acquisition, and platform data into one layer. Reconciles Recharge or Skio with Shopify and ad platforms. Architecture target: one source of truth across the subscription stack.

Concrete deltas. Architecture targets for subscriptions.
Four metrics targeted by the 14-day pilot structure. Exact numbers depend on category, replenishment cycle, and current retention.
Architecture target across the 9-month pilot structure. Felix models decay curves per channel and cohort.
Architecture target: Parker shows which campaigns acquire subscribers who stay, not just buyers who convert.
Architecture target: catch retention drops in new cohorts inside 24 hours, not in the monthly business review.
Architecture target: Sam reallocates budget toward channels that produce subscribers who stay across the curve.
Questions subscription brands ask
How does Cresva help subscription brands reduce churn?
Felix learns per-cohort decay curves and identifies which channels acquire subscribers who retain. Parker shows LTV-weighted contribution by channel, so budget can shift toward sources that produce lasting customers.
Can it predict subscriber LTV by channel?
Yes. Felix models per-channel, per-cohort LTV using your retention data. Architecture target: LTV predictions tighten as the system reads two replenishment cycles.
How does it tell promo subscribers from organic?
Parker tracks subscriber quality by acquisition source, distinguishing promo-driven from organic. Architecture target: surface the retention gap between segments early enough to reallocate.
Does it work with Recharge or Skio?
Cresva integrates with Shopify and the subscription ecosystem above it. Combined with Meta, Google, TikTok ad data, the workforce builds one view from acquisition cost through retention curve.
How fast can we start?
Five minutes via OAuth. First cohort insights inside 48 hours. Retention-adjusted LTV predictions sharpen across the first two replenishment cycles.
Subscription view not the right fit?
