Subscription Analytics Engine
Real-time cohort analysis for SaaS
EntrepreneurBuilder
What it is
Analytics engine focused on subscription business metrics: MRR, churn, cohort retention, LTV prediction.
Why it exists
Generic analytics tools don't understand subscription-specific questions.
Constraints
- •Sub-second queries on millions of events
- •Must handle backdated changes (refunds, plan changes)
- •Privacy-first: no PII in analytics layer
What was hard
- •Defining 'churn' is surprisingly complex with different plan types
- •Handling timezone-correct cohort boundaries
What changed my mind
- →Paused because realized this is more of a data engineering problem than a product problem. May revisit with different architecture.
