⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 10, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.

Correctly flagged a strong-looking LTV:CAC channel as 'test and optimize' once payback period was weighed in - but it hard-depends on a sibling skill folder, so copying just this one leaves a dangling reference.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Acquisition Channel Advisor does

Guides a scale/test/kill decision for a marketing or sales acquisition channel using unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback), customer quality (retention, NRR), and scalability (magic number, addressable volume). Triggers on requests to evaluate, compare, or decide the budget fate of a specific growth channel; not for raw metrics pulls or channel-agnostic strategy questions.
