Low completion killing retention
Industry completion sits near 18%. Every learner who stalls is a renewal you've already lost — the churn shows up a quarter later looking like a pricing problem.

Where revenue leaks
The leaks we find most often in EdTech platforms.
Subscription vs cohort pricing muddle
Per-seat, per-cohort, freemium, B2B contract: the model is half-built. The wrong pricing model caps ARR and confuses the buyer — a gap usually worth $150K–$400K/yr.
B2B vs B2C split focus
Selling to both and optimizing for neither. B2B EdTech retains near 85% at 8–10x LTV:CAC; B2C drops to ~40% at 5–7x. Picking the right motion is worth millions.

What the diagnostic reads first
Five frameworks built for the questions your board — and your next round — actually asks.
F1
Pricing & packaging fit
Subscription, cohort, per-seat, or B2B contract — and is the current model leaving learner-seat expansion on the table?
F2
Retention & completion
What does moving from 18% to 40%+ completion do to your NRR and ARR — sized against your stage and motion, anchored to cited benchmarks?
F3
Onboarding & activation
Where do learners stall between signup and first completed module — and what does fixing it do to retention?
F4
B2B-vs-B2C clarity
Are you selling to both and optimizing for neither? The motion verdict — with LTV:CAC and retention, side by side, and the call made.
F5
NRR gap vs 110% bar
How far do you sit from the retention number your next raise will price you on — and what closes it? (Your NRR vs the 110% funding bar, sized from your inputs.)
These five are read first. Each tier below states exactly how far the diagnosis goes beyond them.
Pricing
One-time price. No retainer, no calls.
Pick the tier that matches your ARR. Every diagnostic is reviewed and signed by the founder and delivered in writing.

Questions
What founders ask before buying.
Really no calls?
Really. Everything is async. You fill the intake, we deliver a written report. Your time stays yours. The only exception: if a finding needs a clarifying question, we ask it by email — never a meeting.
What if my completion data is incomplete?
We infer from your stage, ARR, motion, and pricing model using cited EdTech benchmarks. Every assumption is flagged. A complete, useful diagnostic still ships — and we tell you exactly which 3 numbers to capture to upgrade it.
Is $3,600 worth it?
The average EdTech diagnostic surfaces $200K–$600K in recoverable revenue — primarily from the completion-to-retention chain and the B2B motion analysis. Identifying which FERPA, COPPA, or SOC 2 gap is parking your enterprise pipeline — and sequencing the remedy to unlock it — routinely recovers multiples of the fee. And we don't stop at delivered: if it isn't useful, we rework it free until it is.
What format is the report?

Who is this for?
EdTech founders, CEOs, and Heads of Growth at $500K–$25M ARR with any B2B or B2B2C motion — online courses, corporate L&D, K-12 platforms, professional certification, or blended learning. If you're earlier, take the free Revenue Leak Snapshot first.
